Rating: - Great book
I'm in agreeance with most of the other reviews. I wanted to give this a 5 but I agree with the other 4 star that what prevents me from giving a 5th star is the lack of relevant examples. This will largely be a preference of the person purchasing the book.

The books states early to look at a group effort of some Northwind example but for me I like to have working samples as I go through a book. As I've said in other reviews, that's the point of me spending money on a book. We are ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent reference for an architect
For a long time I have been searching for a good & easily understandable book on application architectures & patterns and finally my search ended with this book.
I have read P of EAA Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (Addison-Wesley Signature Series) before but this book provides good context and examples around each of the patterns mentioned in P of EAA.
couple of -ves I see in this book are,
1) there's no clear-cut examples for certain concepts that authors are trying ... Read More

Rating: - If you want to know the current .NET architectural trends, this is a must read
It is a misconception that architecture is a fully understood field. Like the rest of us in the relatively young discipline of software development, architects are making their way along with rules of thumb, buzzwords and trends, too, and doing their best to tie them all together.

Microsoft has always been a bit lacking when it comes to providing guidance for developing complex software. The alt.net crowd promised to fill in this lacuna, and even promoted itself in terms of filling in the ... Read More

Rating: - Nice book, here is the Table of Contents
This book seemed really promising from the title and mainly its author (Dino Esposito), who is one of the best .NET writers out there. It took me a while to buy it though, because for weeks I tried in vain to find its table of contents, to know exactly what I was buying. Having failed at finding one, I decided to just take a chance and buy it anyway, and I don't regret, it is a good book.

I would say the target audience is intermediate to senior developers who are getting into software architecture, ... Read More

Rating: - Great book overall
I wish my team would read this book. Too many developers in the workforce right now do not understand these principles, and should.

The book does a great job of putting the whole package together and how to implement each layer.

I would write a lot more if I was not so busy. I can't say enough.

Who should get this? Anyone that has already learned the fundumentals of developing in .NET.
