"I'm preparing to record a podcast on data access and so I picked up this book.
In a word - BRILLIANT.
"It covers the three primary data access technologies that matter to developers using current .NET development tools. I read it cover to cover and it has assumed a bit of high-value real-estate on my desk!!!!"
Joe Stagner, MisfitGeek.com
"An excellent book for anyone developing Visual
Basic database applications for .NET...very readable
and loaded with good examples. I haven't seen any other
book that covers ADO.NET 3.5, LINQ, and Entity Framework
as thoroughly as this book does."
Joe Walling, DeveloperBooks.com
"If you want a book on how to use Visual Studio 2008 to create projects to access your database, this is an excellent reference. It is a VS 2008 operating manual and a way to get quick answers on how to generate the classes you want and what code you write to manipulate those classes."
Robert Schaffer, HAL-PC (Houston Area League of PC Users)
"What I really like about this book is the practical
approach: The author introduces you to a subject by
giving you an overview of the technology and then teaches
you by example using a series of 'How to' questions
and answers.... This book gets the job done and I highly
recommend it."
Kirk Bowman, Inland Empire .NET Users Group
"Since I have gotten this book, I can't put it
down. It is very well organized and easy to follow.
The perfect book to get you started."

"I am a professional developer with many years of experience who
wanted to learn LINQ quickly. I bought two LINQ books
and I was disappointed when I discovered that I had
to go through huge introductions and background information
before getting to hands-on examples. Needless to say
I'm too busy for that, so I gave up. Then I discovered
this book..."
"I started with section 4, 'How to use LINQ.' I learned enough to start using it in a project within 2 hours!!! It is a quick read, with clear examples and highlighted code, and before I knew it, I could write LINQ code with the book closed. This book has enough information on LINQ that most developers might never need a more advanced one."
