Summary: Totally Cool
Review: Building UI's can be a real pain, but it's a great feeling when you know you built a great UI. This book can get you there in a hurry. This is one of those books thats so fun to read you actually forget you are learning some really great techniques.

If you are an advnaced developer, I think there are some great ideas in here and they certainly explain a lot of the how's and why's that you may have missed. If you are a newbie, this book will save you tons of time and effort stumbling around.

Content wise it's superb. Every chapter was compelling and interesting.

Editorially - great, I have yet to find any typos or grammar problems, and the code all works.

I also really like the layout of the book. The examples are great, everything is clear and easy to understand; they just did a really good job on this.

Summary: If you only buy one WinForms book this year...
Review: If you are a VB.NET developer - or one coming from a 'classic' VB background - and you want a no-nonsense guide to the key elements of WinForms development, this book is for you. In-depth practical experience shines through every chapter.

Summary: A master work!
Review: Should be considered *THE* reference for any Windows Forms developer for .NET. This book covers everything from intro material to details of threading and security, and covers it all well. Keep it nearby when developing.
