I an experienced .NET developer looking to take my skills to the next level through use of design patterns, and perhaps even more importantly, good ways to code business objects that use relational data. Since the title is "Expert VB 2005 Business Objects", I thought I'd hit the jackpot by finding this book... but it has just turned out to be mediocre so far.
I'm on page 113 and I probably won't finish reading this book. Instead of a methodology for the creation of business objects, including creating a business object interface structure, hints on how to reuse as much code as possible within a business object hierarchy while allowing to remain flexible and extensible, and pointers on how to effectively retrieve and store data, I basically got a 600-page long book on how to use a class library that someone else has already created, called CSLA.NET.
Don't get me wrong, the author is obviously highly skilled, and I saw some interesting things in this book, but I want to write my own code - I just needed some help learning how to code business objects like an "expert" and this book isn't fitting the bill like I'd hoped.
