If only this book came out two years ago...
I've been developing .NET apps for just about two years since beta 1 and really wish this book was around when I first started. The only thing I can say bad about it is that I would have liked it before I spent a lot of time trial-and-erroring my way through things. I can't blame the authors though, books this cool take a while to write!It's really a cool layout and and you feel yourself caught in the momentum. Example after example and very concise and to the point. Few books make their point(s) so quickly and succinctly. Not a lot of fluff or general comments (which certainly belong in many books), but it really gets to the point on each and every example. I found it very easy to read, it made me want to read on, it was very well written and all of the code worked flawlessly. If you are starting out in .NET, this book will save you HOURS, and in many instances, DAYS and perhaps weeks. If you are an experienced developer, there is still a lot that you may have not come across yet and this book will certainly have some great information for you. I've never purchased anything by Sean or Campbell, but if this is any indication of their work, I'll definitely be buying whatever else they write.

Full Samples for the book are Online and very cool
The person who wrote the previous comment didn't read the book's opening pages in the introduction. All of the 101 Samples in the book are online! Each one is very cool and runs right away. The samples in the book are snippets from those examples with plenty of explanatory text for each sample.

lots of info, bad organization
this book has a lot of info, but is not organzied very well. e.g chapter 11 "key visual studio .net benefits" would require you to build the following chapters 3,4,5,7,8,54,55,57,73,76,79. it gives a general idea, but not fully working examples where the reader can type and run,
