Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter 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.
