Featured Customer Reviews This is a developers methodology book, not a programming "how-to"., January 21, 2006 This book is a 5-star book in its methodology and clever software development. If you are looking for an "how-to" book in a shooping cart this book is way over your head, and will have a massive learning curve. The book is made to be read from cover to cover to fully get the value of it (if you skip the chapter on CMP,or example, you are just wasting yout time after). The first cool thing about it, is the clever CMP programming methodology for .NET. If you are coming from the Java world of Beans you will clearly not be impressed with it, but for .NET users this is a big thing), the second cool thing is the interesting use of reflections within the CMP to build self discovering object. I would say this is the first time I see a practical example of use of reflection at this level in many years of developing Web applications. The book is clearly not for begginners. Without having a good grsp of C# concepts such as: abstract object oriented programming and .NET Reflections, this book it would turn to be a waste of time. For those understand the methodology in it, the book is a treasure. If you'd be able to program so thorougly and sistematically as Hoffman's describe it, you will go far in life. Not much help and support for installation, August 29, 2003 The book doesn't provide much help even to install its own sample code. First, you have to look around very hard to find the source code to download (it is no longer in wrox.com). Second, the database is for restore to SQL Server 2000 only. It doesn't provide any kind of script file that I can make little modify to install it to a SQL Server 7 or MSDE 2000. You will be stuck if you don't have SQL Server 2000 installed. Third, the source code installation is not a install and run, I have to do some change to be able to opetn the solution. Simply Documentation for a Sample E-Commerce Site, July 23, 2003 This book provides extensive documentation for a sample e-commerce Web site, but not much in the way of instruction. It is more of a "Look, here's how I did it"-book than a "Look, here's how you do it"-book. If you're a beginner, this book will go WAY over your head. It was written for those already well-versed in VS.NET/C#/ASP.NET and are looking for some guidance to put their skills to use in creating an online store. Too Brief, April 03, 2003 The Container mapping is the second chapter is good... I read a book for a day and return to book shop for next day. I am looking for books to discuss the whole architecure with e-commerce site. This book just breifly describe each topic, and some difficult topic such as inventory control are missed out intentionally...The author says it is waste of resource, then I would say I waste my money. I pay $50bulks for the book and the content should be much more enriched...MSDN has a very good example there, The Duwich Bookshop, Duwich Online.....Those are the materials that I am looking for....
