Summary: Some great concepts
Review: Must agree with the other reviewers - a worthwhile read and well worth buying. A definitive must read for beginners (or anybody with sloppy coding habits). The way he structures the different layers of his N-tier application also makes lots more sense than some of the other books I have read. Criticism against this book/ methods proposed in the book include ·Some of the code (parent/child relationships) are unfriendly to programmers, users of your UI and ASP pages ·The implementation of the business tier is somewhat functional in nature (Yip, I can do a Load and get the state back, but sometimes I actually want the object, not the state) I have build a code generator which implements a lot of the concepts from this book in a somewhat revised way, and I can quickly and easily develop a working CRUD application based on good concepts. The apps are scaleable and maintainable, getting new programmers up and running is quite easy, maintenance of existing code isn't that scary any more. The most valuable lesson I have learned from this book is: Have a development "methodology" (even if you borrow Lhotka's, he won't mind), Understand it fully, Review it before each project, and Stick to it! Well done Lhotka! JC@jcoberholzer.com
