Customer Review: Opinion I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. After purchasing this book, I briefly skimmed through the pages of the book to get an idea of what it would be like. I was surprised to find the book was full of pictures and diagrams. It seemed like the book would be very lacking in actual... more info
Customer Review: This book is very well organized and covers the essential silverlight subjects in depth. The color content makes a big difference for the ease of reading. The most extensive coverage of Silverlight capabilities from controls, animation, networking, databinding, isolated storage, multithreading and... more info
Customer Review: This is a great reference for WPF--I've been looking for a book like this for quite a while. It's probably not the best learning resource, but once you have a general understanding of WPF, this book can help dig deeper into specific topics, like "How do I change the startup behavior of a WPF... more info
Customer Review: After reading this book cover to cover, I was able to put together my first database and understand alot more of Access. I have had a difficult time grasping this software and have read 3 other books before this one. The Missing Manual was filled with great information and was easy to read.
Customer Review: This is one of the premier books on ASP.NET. The authors' writing style is eminently readable, which is important for a topic that requires 1400+ pages. They have a talent for bridging the ASP.NET learning material with select core C#.NET Framework concepts, tips, gotchas, and all-around useful... more info

Customer Review: This is great for tips and special uses. It is also great for people upgrading from older versions of Office to find out where things have moved or how they are done in 2007.
Customer Review: This is a good reference book. However, if you know nothing about creating web sites it may be of little use. Also, if you wish to start a blog or a blogging business, this book is NOT for you! It only talks about [...], which is so easy to use it hardly deserves a chapter.
Customer Review: I wanted to understand and explore new features in this version of Office (especially Word, esp. Track Changes) but this was far too basic: too much coverage of simple stuff, not enough on what is new in the 2007 version of Office. This book is not as useful to me as the "Missing Manual" on Vista... more info
Customer Review: At last, someone has published a WPF book aimed at those of us who prefer to use Visual Basic for the code behind. This is another well-written and comprehensive piece of work from a widely respected author. Unsurprisingly, large chunks of content have been ported directly from his earlier... more info
