I'm writing this review in response to one of the previous reviews written here...had I read Dave's review, I wouldn't have purchased this book --which is unfortunate because it's a great book! I have little experience with Microsoft and come from an open source background, so this is all new to me. So far I have only read the first 60 pages (I bought this book two days ago), but I can say the examples are great and the author, so far, has done an incredible job explaining things. If you're new to ADO.NET and need a way of quickly getting up to speed, this book will be a great asset!

I'm confused by Dave's comment about the book being "a combination of random snippets that never bring anything together" because that simply isn't true. The author, actually, provides SEVERAL complete and fully functional examples you can download and modify during the exercises!

Dave also cites his confusion about datatables and finds fault with the author for his confusion --when the author has provided a lucid explanation on the subject! How is this the author's fault?!

Anyway, it's a great book and if you're looking for a balance between theory and "hands on," this is probably your book...
