The book is very perfect for starter and intermediate. It takes from novice level to some-how professional level in every thing about InfoPath designer.

Yet it lacks information about some detailed topics like handling InfoPath forms association with SharePoint 2010 that is created by Visual Studio, which is very basic information for any developer who want to integrate InfoPath form with SharePoint workflow.

The book is fantastically covering the topic of what is Agile Development for the typical .NET developer, and how to adapt suck technique in your daily development life.

I do appreciate the effort of Jerrel Blankenship of featuring many concepts of testing like TDD, BDD and WatiN, talking about integration and source control using SVN! Which is very good open source alternatives!

Yet I would give that amazing book another fifth star, if there is another chapter covering how I deal with Agility (SCRUM) in my project using Microsoft TFS, which is more natural in most .NET development projects :)

This a review based on jumping reading and focusing on the only SilverLight part in the book:

Generally the information provided is very nice for the beginner geeks, Advanced people won't be very happy!!

The most annoying point is the reading experience itself!!!

The book is written by 22 MVP, each one of them wrote a chapter. So you don't have to expect fixed standard of writing quality through all chapters.

Some chapters were very solid and useful like the first chapter that was talking about the how to set your environment for the new SharePoint 2010. I loved it because it is one-stop complete reference for every thing about the setup process.

Chapter 18 about the branding was very informative and helpful. Yet it was lacking for many details and leaved me searching for other resource. It was just mind-opening chapter about concept, but not a comprehensive resource.

Eventually, I would recommend this book if you really wanna to read the experience of most valuable people. Only be warned that it is not a complete resource for all topics in SharePoint 2010.

The book is very specialized about the topic of Workflow in SharePoint 2010. I can say, it is very complete resource for any one who search for easy-To-Apply reference.

It saved me many times, specially in the part of InfoPath forms association with workflows!

I may suggest some enhancements for text formatting, to keep the reading experience cool.

Magnificent resource for almost all common phone tasks with easy to read "Problem-Solution" approach.

Sometimes the solution description might not be that deep or full covering resource, but It is absolutely a very good starting point for deeper search about the topic in MSDN and web.

It is a MUST have guide source for speedy developing Windows Phone apps.

كلام جميل و رائع. لكن قمة الاستغراب بين العوا وقتها و العوا الذي اثار القلاقل من اكثر من سنة مع اخوتنا في الوطن بنشر بعض الأخبار الغير موثقة

للأسف متعة الكتاب تنتهي مع الفصول الأولى ذات العلاقة بتعريف العلمانية في الغرب و الشرق ، و الفصل بين العلمانية الجزئية و الشاملة.

باقي الفصول مغرقة في الألفاظ و المصطلحات و الشروحات التي قد تكون مفيدة لأهل الاختصاص في علم الاجتماع، لكن بالتأكيد ليست شيقة للقارئ العادي مثلي.
