Books

Ok, I am in book reading mode.

1. WPF (Unleashed) by Adam Nathan.
Great book. The reason for this book being so good is the way it's organized. The "main course" of the book is the very well written guide to learn WPF without making it too complicated. And there are Notes and Tips that give you the direction where you should dig to know more. Highly recommend.

2. WCF (Unleashed) by Craig McMurtry.
I am struggling with this book. I am at the beginning of it and at this moment I still have determination to finish it. But it's hard. In opposite to WPF book where complex concepts explained simply, here simple concepts can be understood after reading paragraph two or three times. Disappointment, actually.

3. Expert C# 2005 Business Objects by Rockford Lhotka.
I am in chapter 2 yet, but I am in nirvana reading this book. The subject itself is very interesting to me. I am little bit obsessed with idea of "application frameworks". By this moment, I have no single point of disagreement with the book. And as WPF, the author really tries to explain his concepts and ideas in human language. Highly recommend.

Essential WPF by Chris Anderson is another good one. Complements "Unleashed" by giving you a wider architectural view.
