(Good) Books hold concepts and thought patterns, the informations are proposed as a single unit with every facet linked to the others. It is literally a corpus of information, while the single pick is best left to google (i.e. what the flock are again the return values of function xyz()?).
Many books nowadays are very poorly written, thus useless but still... for example I still do not understend anything about WPF. The MSDN is only a collection of objects, members and syntaxes. Useless. The books we have here in office are no more than tutorial for single things we don't need. What I'd like is a freaking book with the logical representation of WPF, it's key components and how do they interact between each other. THEN I would make use of the MSDN.

You are correct sir. Sometimes you need a good book instead of the piecemeal way of learning the Internet alone provides. The Internet is wonderful but it cannot replace a book where someone took the time to write down things from A-Z instead of 30 mins writing a single page of content on a website.

Thank you. The first useful reply.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

What did you expect? It's Friday the 13th, and on CP. Just be glad we didn't say CListCtrl.

I used the Wrox Professional ASP.NET MVC3 book away back when that was the current version, it was great to get going. I also relied heavily on the free PluralSight videos on this page, ASP.NET MVC | The ASP.NET Site
I went from minimal (i.e. near nothing) C# and no MVC to put together my uni final project web based KPI management solution using these two resources.

Pompey doesn't like the CCC is all - it runs Monday to Friday, but clearly pkfox is letting mere employment get in the way of important things...
We'll make him do it Monday instead!

I don't know the rules regarding posting the following but AGDQ benefits the Prevent Cancer Foundation and features speed-runs of your favorite old-school games - Twitch. I'm a huge supporter of the cause
The current Furi run is insane for anyone that has attempted that game before.
