Yes, from what Ive read in this book it is indeed excellent.

Why 'from what I've read?' Because the book, as it states, is in the form of recipes and I used this book to get specific info.

Reading the book from cover to cover wasn't necessary.



Simply target a recipe for your problem, and go. Sometimes I also had to read other recipes since some are related to get the big picture. This worked really well for me.



The information is accurate and concise. The example code (downloadable) is in VB and C#

Well worth the money.
