James Avery & Jim Holmes created an outstanding, easy to read, yet encyclopedic reference manual for time constrained .Net developers. The manual identifies a myriad of time-saving tools which developers can use to create and/or enhance web-based applications deploying .NET technology. It especially excels in presenting tools’ code-examples while highlighting tips, tricks, must dos, and “gotchas” that can assist or derail the completion of most applications. Personally speaking, as a developer who doesn’t have time to thoroughly research such topics in my trade, I appreciated the breadth and clarity of coverage for those presented tools.


This manual is useful for novice and guru developers, alike. This is a must read for all developers who want to save time and effort while striving to develop robust applications. It should be included in the library of reference materials that is maintained by all seasoned & serious developers.

"...there is a boat load of tools available out there in the wild, and it's hard to decide which one could be useful for us, and this book does a great job at pointing us out to what's worth checking out."
