| The Latest from Tony and Zuzana's World | MORE | | Screening C# Candidates: Let’s Play 20 Questions! If a person has ever bothered to read a book or technical article or taken a training course, their answers will set them apart from the crowd of folks who don’t make time for ongoing professional development. My short list for the books on various.NET API’s is Programming Entity Framework by Julie Lerman , Programming WCF Services by Juval Lowy , Essential WPF by Chris Anderson , Silverlight 4 in Action by Pete Brown , and Pro ASP.NET MVC by Steve Sanderson. Furthermore, I’m looking for a developer with a thirst for knowledge. This is the purpose of the technical phone screen. DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Life Just Got Easier: Simple MVVM Toolkit for Silverlight ve read no less than three Silverlight books. If you’ve made a decision to start using the Model-View-ViewModel pattern (abbreviated as MVVM) for Silverlight development, you’re faced with a rather steep learning curve and a scarcity of of accepted standards and best practices. All of them have a chapter on MVVM, in which the pattern is explained and some fairly basic examples are provided. But when it comes to taking on some controversial issues, such as how to display modal dialogs, they tend to sidestep the issue and recommend that you pick up an MVVM toolkit. Enjoy. Tony and Zuzana's World - Saturday, January 1, 2011 Unearthing Some Diamonds in the Rough O’Reilly has a program that provides online access to books that have yet to be published. Here are two books listed that I recommend ordering in their Rough Cuts version: Programming Entity Framework Second Edition by Julia Lerman. It’s called “Rough Cuts” and allows you to read chapters as they are written but before they are cleaned up for final publication, and it provides a discounted price for online and print editions. Given the nature of technology and the speed of change, I find early access to be quite valuable. This includes coverage of Entity Framework 4.0 Tony and Zuzana's World - Tuesday, April 20, 2010 | | The Best from Tony and Zuzana's World | MORE | | Screening C# Candidates: Let’s Play 20 Questions!

DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, February 28, 2012 The Joys of Parenting For example, when it came to buying a house, I bought a couple of books and read up on the topic before plunging headlong. We took a course in natural childbirth and read several books on the topic. Whenever I am presented with a new challenge, I like to thoroughly research it. did the same thing when my wife decided to have a baby naturally. When it came to the area of child rearing, we approached the topic with the same gusto, comparing different parenting philosophies. Experience has taught me that parenting is unlike any other endeavor I have undertaken. Not so with parenting.

The Problem Solver - Sunday, May 12, 2013 Requirements and Specifications The first book I picked up was Mike Cohn’s User Stories Applied , the nearest thing the Agile-set has to a definitive text on requirements. True Requirements runs throughout the book but doesn’t help me compare and contrast. The fact that so many prominent books duck the question of requirements and specification makes me think this is a fairly common issue. 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 Requirements whose job are they anyway? The talk title is a reference to the John Le Carre book “Tinker Tailor Solider Spy!” , its probably too clever by half and I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” 'Later this week I’m giving a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” The talk idea was born out of what I see as confusion and land-grabbing in the requirements space, or as I prefer to think of it “the need side” i.e. the side of development which tries to understand what is needed. Undoubtedly some do but I’m far from convinced they all do. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -

Reviewing this book took some time as it weighs in at a hefty 798 pages, who ever said that Silverlight was a small products? That is a lot of material but then the book doesn't assume any prior knowledge of Silverlight at all. The book is divided into 25 chapters in 3 different sections. In these cases the book is a nice point to get started but no more than that and getting additional information on the Internet is pretty much a requirement. Pete has a pretty solid coverage of the material the book will help you understand what you need to know. Enjoy!
