Review: Great Text for Someone Moving from J2EE to .Net - This book is real "whirlwind tour" of modern .Net. It covers a huge range of the features of the .Net ecosystem in a single book. It strikes a good balance of covering material in enough depth to be at least somewhat useful without bogging the reader down in a lot of detail that might not be relevant to all situations. Since most real-world projects require a greater degree of understanding of certain specific topics than this book could possibly cover, this book offers many helpful pointers to resources for more in-depth learning throughout. For a beginning developer, I would say that this book would be useful as a basic road-map to the skills required to become proficient. It confers just enough skill to get the reader started. However, it is not a complete course of training in any of the topic covered. That would be impossible. Object-Oriented Programming alone is a field that nobody other than a few gifted students could expect to gain proficiency in without a substantial, months-long effort in two semesters of college, or self-study with a dedicated text on the topic. And, even after that, getting good at it requires years of experience. If you're already an experienced developer, but you're new to .Net, or you're coming back to it after a long time away, this book is a great way of quickly familiarizing yourself with the terrain so that you can jump in and start being productive in the shortest time possible.
Review: Great way to start learning dotNET 5 - Overall, I really like book. It took me from knowing nothing about dotNET to being able to use dotNET 5 and creating an MVC web application. In fact, I find this easier than trying to use dotNET Framework 4.7, which I am having to go back and learn because some servers still run ancient versions of dotNET. (Just upgrade your servers to dotNET 5 and make everyone's life easier because dotNET Framework is no longer supported by Microsoft.) Mark Price demonstrates and explains parts of the framework of dotNET 5 in examples using the Northwind examples. The other nice thing about this book is that he covers the C# language, too, but the real pay off is the chapters about the framework of dotNET 5 because that was the part I didn't really know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well Written Programming Book with Lots of Useful Information
*by B***. on July 14, 2021*

This is is a book that covers the newest C# version for multiple platforms but most importantly it covers material not covered in other books. He cover how to use GitHub, NuGet, Security, Database and of course web development as well as multi-tasking. He includes reference material for those who wish to delve deeper into a particular topic as well. If you want to learn C#, this uses Visual Studio Code but it gives beginners of C# a great understanding of the language and what you can do with it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to increase their understanding of programming and want to learn beyond some of the basic topics covered in text books. A well written book overall.
