Fluff. It's the kind of book who has large screenshots of VS/setup processes. Need i say more ? I'm really interested in a good Silverlight 1.1 book. Hope it won't take to long to surface...

Awesome book. It describes in gory details, and using a "from the trenches" view, all the problems faced by professional programmers in the corporate world. Of course nothing in the book is really new for veteran programmers but it paints a image so vivid of what means to be a corporate programmer that this book is a must read for any novice who wants so be a programmer.
Verdict: Read it. Now

This is a mixed bag. It has interesting information but also lots of "why the heck is this stuff here" chapters.
I especially liked Petzold's chapter.
