This book is far from good.
The were variables named xyz... the explanation of what was being developed was scarce and the "projects" were confusing.
I read the Portuguese version and the translation/edition was terrible, there were many mistakes.
I would never suggest this book to anyone. There are better alternatives to get yourself into C# and databases.
