Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

Pro Service-Oriented Smart Clients with .NET 2.0

Description

Pro Service-Oriented Smart Clients with .NET 2.0 demonstrates how Smart Clients satisfy multiple purposes. First you deploy a Smart Client application to a server and send your user base a URL. Then when a user clicks the link, the server downloads the application to the end user's machine and then runs it on the client, just like a desktop application.

This book satisfies growing demand for a professional resource on Smart Clients. This comprehensive book is unique because it touches all of the bases: agility, service orientation, testing intelligence, and even a definition of what the "smart" in Smart Client means.

Summary: "Misleading title"

I have read this book, I'd say that is a good book if you're trying to get an idea of what a Smart Client is, and a little bit of what SOA might be etc. After reading this book, you can go and talk to your peers about what is a Smart Client(those without a big inside in the Smart Clients area). Plus there are some good architectural advices on some chapters.
But if you want to have a deep technical understanding on some of the tough questions on SmartClients, I'd say this book is a little bit too "For Beginers" one.

Summary: "Worth a $40 Gift Card"

I have been reading this book along with the smart client guide I downloaded from Microsoft. This book is actually pretty good. The author doesn't try to confuse you with complicated examples that take away from the concepts. The book discusses some of the smart client implementations by Microsoft, which is good because it gives you several sources to understand exactly what smart clients are. I had no idea this stuff was available, which is why I bought the book. It was definitely worth the $40 gift card I spent. Just to be fair, some of the later chapters could have been better but I got my moneys worth.

Summary: "Poor"

This book is apparently "for .Net Developers, designers and architects who want to build next=generation solutions". It promised to "use a practical, example driven approach".

Well, it doesnt do any of the above. This book gives a rather poor introductory narrative of Smart Clients. I wouldnt recommend this book for a developer who wants to get a good idea on how to build Smart Clients.

Summary: "Don't waste your money on this book!!! I regret I did."

I have nothing good to say about this book. The examples are downloaded from MS's website, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/. They were written by MS for VS 2003. If you are interested in smart clients, just checkout the MS site. An entire chapter is spent on describing the difference between and thin and thick clients. No indepth coverage of the material.

Summary: "Great"

I saw a presentation on smart clients at the PDC and immediately bought this book. I have read several chapters and am very satisfied. It seems that most others here are as well. If you are considering this book, I would tell you to buy it for one reason: the book is thorough and concise. The book talks about all of the relevant smart client concepts, from development to deployment. Very nice.
