Chapter 4 - Server Controls and Client-Side Scripts
Mark Kola
writes "This chapter was a pretty high level overview of server controls and how to use them in development. Some good information was given regarding CSS. I really like the example that was given with the HTMLGenericControl, and it was interesting to see the new server controls that are now available in 2.0.
A fantastic job was done, explaining how to use javascript with the server controls. There were pretty detailed examples of how the different ClientScript.Register methods are used.
Implementing a Client-Side Callback in javascript was something that ..."

Value Types, Reference Types, and writing with clarity!
Peter Bromberg
writes "Recently I served as a technical review editor for a book on C# and .NET. Among other issues, I noticed that the explanation "bullet points" describing "pass by value" and "pass by reference" semantics were not only unclear, they appeared to contradict each other. Quite annoyed, I wrote up a particularly scathing review comment and the authors took my advice (plus, I hope similar advice from other tech reviewers).
Unfortunately, when I read the section in the final published copy of the book, I suspect the..."

Just say no to Microsoft -- an interesting read
Robert Scoble
writes "...Anyway, they asked a while back if I’d like some books and I said sure. So, today when I get back from CES I found one waiting for me titled “Just Say No to Microsoft.”
Now, on first reading, you might think I should be offended by such a book. After all, the basic premise of the book is to live life without Microsoft. Switch to a Mac or a Linux machine and all that. The subtitle of the book is “How to Ditch Microsoft And Why It’s Not as Hard As You Think.”...

The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming
Keith Brown
writes "I remember awhile back wishing I had a good book on directory services programming from .NET (System.DirectoryServices, etc.). On a whim, I pinged ADSI wunderkind Joe Kaplan about it, and it turned out he and some other folks had already been tossing the idea around. Joe recruited Ryan Dunn and together they have done it - they are in the final phases of delivery of their new book, The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Service Programming, which I'm excited to say is part of the top-notch .NET Development series...

What I got out of Object Thinking
Rockford Lhotka
writes "I’ve recommended David West’s Object Thinking book to many people. I really like the book a lot, and think that his underlying message has tremendous value. But the trick with the Object Thinking book is to take the concepts and philosophy and to adapt it into existing tools.
