This book has some VERY basic concepts that can be expanded upon. It was a quick read and I can't say I learned any new tools just refresher of old ones.

This is a pretty good book. It gives you a few good ideas you may not have thought of.

This book was much more basic than I had envisioned. It is probably the first book out of the blocks because it really does not contain as much information as the beginner tutorials you can find on the Microsoft site.

The beginning chapters spend too time (IMHO, of course) on an overview of subjects such as LOB (Line-Of-Business), prototypes, wireframing, RAD (Rapid Application Development) and other things I thought unnecessary in this book.

That being said, if you want most of the tutorial information in one place, and in a fairly well organized and written book, then maybe this book is for you.

I gave it 3 stars (instead of 4) partly to offset what I thought were overly glowing reviews that sucked me into buying it in the first place.

>>Update: After using this book for awhile, I have upgraded by review to 4 stars. Even though it is a beginning to medium book, it has given me some valuable insights into LightSwitch that I would have had a hard time finding otherwise.

Side Note: I bought the PDF directly from Wrox; Although I love my Kindle DX, it is not suitable for reading this type of book as the illustrations are too faint to read. This was not a factor in my review of this book.

I liked some of the frameworks provided in the book (e.g., STARS model). I believe they will be helpful in my upcoming transition.
I'm giving it 4 stars because I found some of the concepts to repeat themselves over and over without adding much insights or value. I think the book could have been 20% shorter.

It's a very basic book, but a true novice will garner some info from it.

The examples are quite good. They are basic enough to be understood clearly, but they are not very creative.

It has some of basic development ideas but lacks the "how you can do it which I was incorrectly expecting to find.

I think that there are some pretty promising ideas that you can gain insights on, but I often found myself skipping through a majority of the reading because the entire book is just short story after short story.

There weren't many points where the author just sat down and explained his reasoning behind his ideas, which I would've liked to see more. He mostly gave examples.

SIDE NOTE: as a 22 year old, I found the examples to be very outdated and this often made it difficult to relate to. After reading this book, I don't feel like I gained anything more than a simple summary of his KEY POINTS. I'd definitely recommend looking up those points online, they're very useful to be aware of in your everyday life and can really help change your interactions with other people.

I find this book good for the early beginner in trading for good concepts in terminology and basic trading concepts...It does not go far enough to cover some very important essentials for truly successful trading other than the basics it covers which are of course required reading....<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sammy-Chua-s-Day-Trade-Your-Way-to-Financial-Freedom-Wiley-Trading/dp/0471745588/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sammy Chua's Day Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom (Wiley Trading)</a>

This book is easy to understand and the concepts although not new are put together neatly in this book so that those who are not financially savvy has a basic book to start understanding finance.

I received a free pdf copy of this manuscript in return for an honest review.  I finished reading it tonight and coming from a corporate environment where I interact very closely with HR representatives, I would say that if you are at the early stages of your company and wanting to understand how to develop your HR roles, this could be a guideline for helping to establish some general protocol.  Not all suggestions are relevant or current in todays corporate environment.  There were good ideas and some dated ideas as any google search would reveal.  The writer covered basic thoughts and ideas and was very pro HR.  One thing to always remember is the "human" part of Human Resources....as this was pointed out.  This concept is lost in much of the corporate world today where the bottom line rarely has anything "human" associated with it.  Again, a quick read to help establish some basic HR principles but I don't know that I would follow all steps as written.  Modify according to your needs.

This is a very easy to understand guide to selling your house, and it's very basic. Maybe a little TOO basic. I consider myself a visual learner, and seeing as I'm not a realtor and I'm looking for ways to navigate through the home selling process, I wish there were visuals in this manual. I think it would not only reinforce what the author was explaining, but it would greatly help visual learners like myself. There were also a couple of typos and grammar errors in this very short book. Also the formatting felt a little off to me, like the paragraphs didn't look even, and some had more spacing between them than necessary. It's nice that this information is available for your Kindle to take notes if need be, but I can't help but wonder what this would look like as a website with different tabs and explanations about the terminology and what the forms should look like, etc. And maybe the author could even reference his own personal experiences that led him to writing this book.

Overall, if you're looking for some quick, easy to read information on how to sell your house, this is a pretty good guide for a good price. If you're looking for anything more in-depth, however, you might have to look elsewhere.

For a relatively short book it has some core concepts that will help any first year rep develop the skills necessary to start an outbound role.

The book presented some good ideas - although it is fairly basic.  It addresses multiple locations in the home and some ideas for outside the home

I like this book because it's very simple and right to the point. I do think is a complete and basic guide for beginners because the author explains the basic terms that we really need to know and understand.

It's reputation had preceded my purchase of the book.  Once I read through it, I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of examples and deeper dive into some of the concepts around available time, shifts, and parallel processes.  It is still a good basic book but I guess I had higher expectations given it's reputation.  It is not very helpful for non-manufacturing situations.  The concepts can still be applied but there is only one example and it's a manufacturing one.

This book gives basic information that is available in many other places. It does do a decent job of simplifying the process.
