"First, I must say I'm so impressed with this book (and by extension,
with the series)... I decided to take a peek at one of the CodeNotes books
as I'm always interested in learning more and (the material) tends to be
delivered in the form of concise, accurate writings by experts who don't
dumb down the material but rather they give a high level of overview...
Thanks for such a wonderful series and please keep them coming!"

"Your explanation of Delegates and the comparison between VB.NET and
C# are the best I have ever seen."
"It's a useful idea -- to offer something between an executive review
and a mighty, detailed, 1500 page code packed manual. This is what CodeNotes
does -- it offers a good general overview of the .NET platform and technologies...
The book also includes some helpful online resources... making it a handy
tool for tackling some common problems you are likely to face when dealing
with .NET... In short, I believe Random House has hit the bulls-eye with
CodeNotes' tight and coherent format..."

"I just picked up two of the books in the CodeNotes series and
am I ever pleased! Well written, helpful, and to the point. Even better
is the fact that you can hold them in your hand, take them on a plane and
generally enjoy them. No more of the bloated tomes filled with useless code
and explanations, or CDs that are simply advertising vehicles. Can't wait
to pick up a few more! Congrats on a great concept, well executed and delivered."

"This series of books is great for getting a handle on the new technologies.
They are written in a straightforward manner to provide maximum information
in minimal time and investment."
- Redmond, WA
"Having started back in the dark ages (PL/I, Fortran, FORTH - even
found a punch card wedged between a few books on my shelf the other day...)
I still gravitate toward written materials for self-education. Unfortunately
most of the books being written are 1000+ pages and darn heavy! I truly
appreciate the size and weight of your Codenotes series. Of course that
would be useless if they were poorly written, but they aren't! Both the
writing and layout are clear and they deliver on their promises. Thanks
once again. I will look forward to reading others in this series."
