Even before I received the book, I knew that an O'Reilly Nutshell book would be small, concise and without excess verbage. O'Reilly books, in general, fit what I call the "UNIX Mentality", that is I'm an expert if you want me to answer your question or talk to you then you must already be an expert too. XAML in a Nutshell fits the above description! Of the 271 pages (not counting index and prefix) 88 are reserved to explaining XAML, the remainder are reference material describing Elements, Controls, and Shapes & Geometry. 88 pages of teaching is not very much! Especially for a beginner I provide support to Graphic Artists in developing web pages. When they call me, it is usually because something is not working and they need me to compare what they wanted to what the program actually did. For Example: 8 text boxes all should have blue backgrounds, why is Dreamweaver making one of them pink? After reading this book I don't feel equipped to provide assistance with XAML. Rating: As a Reference book: 4 of 5 stars As a Learning book: 2 of 5 stars To a Graphic Artist: 0 of 5 stars |
