Amazon.com Sales Rank: 230370 Featured Customer Reviews A good book , July 17, 2008 This book was recomended by my instructor and I see myself keeping this as a ready reference once I get into the work force. Good brevity - poor flow, August 14, 2007 As other reviewers have stated, there is good coverage of topics overall and in new topics in particular. The sentence structure and overall material arrangement are, however, suboptimal. I have used this text as a survey of new features and to get a view of the SQL Server development landscape. I would not recommend any heavy lifting with this text. I would recommend the Inside Series for that. Look before you buy, October 31, 2006 Covers writing T-SQL and C# code to be executed/hosted within SQL Server. The authors point out many of the new features of SQL Server 2005. I found the writing style somewhat disjointed. I just couldn't read it from cover to cover. It reads like a course syllabus. It doesn't really fall into the category of a reference either. Make sure you skim through this book at your local bookstore before you commit to purchasing it. Excellent resource for Dev's only, October 04, 2006 Bob's book is written for the passionate Microsoft developer. DBA's and IT Pro's will find this book useful to have on the shelf, as there are number of features that touch the life of the Admin. Additionally, AW press has released another book, SQL Server 2005 Distilled, if you are looking for something less deep, I would try that book too. HTH. Dusty... A great book for Database Developers, September 05, 2006 This is a very good book for Database Developers. It covers most topics thoroughly. Some topics like SQLCLR and XQuery are covered too much in detail for my taste, but who knows one day I might need it! (there is a 17 page WSDL in chapter 12 .. I don't know who decided to put this in :-) Initially the minutiae kind of put me off, but over time I have started to like this book. You might also be interested in these items...
