Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern: Good book for novice & students who want to a start up with MVVM. Although book has been written on 1000ft high for small architectural guide,its worth reading. 11/17/2011 (5 of 5 customers found this review helpful) ? 1.0 Misleading title and missing code By?robert from portland, oregon Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows? Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern: Aside from the issues mentioned by several others that MVVM is covered in only a tiny part of the book, and that it does not go into anything very deeply, the downloadable code is not what is represented in the book. The code is not exercises as advertised, nor are there pre/post projects. There is just one sample project which does not run out-of-the box due to non-existent references. (Note that even the download link given in the book is wrong.) 5/1/2011 ? 5.0 Good for LOB developers By?Sam Pereira from S?o Paulo, Brazil Cheap Easy to understand Great topics Not so MVVM as I expected Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows? Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern: Too many topics for only 200 pages, but great overview of best products and practices for LOB applications. Easy reading. I recommend it 4/23/2011 (6 of 8 customers found this review helpful) ? 1.0 Tries to cover too much in < 200 pages By?Recce from Berkshire, UK About Me Designer, Developer Not comprehensive enough Too basic Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows? Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern: This is a book about LOB architecture, and MVVM is only a small part of this book. There are far better books on application architecture, which are long enough to do the subject justice. Book feels rushed, incomplete and unfinished. 4/9/2011 (6 of 6 customers found this review helpful) ? 3.0 You can find source code here...
