Visual Studio LightSwitch Unleashed - Comprehensive Guide for Developers | Build Business Applications Faster | Ideal for Web & Desktop Development

It is not my nature to give a book a low rating and I don't blame the author but rather the publisher. Alessandro Del Sole is an excellent writer and I have several of his books. The problem is that all the screen shots, and there are many and very important to understanding LightSwitch, cannot be easily read. They are so light and the print so small that in many cases, one cannot make out what they say. In spite of this, I gave it a good try to follow each page but finally gave up. It was a big disappointment for me as I really wanted to experience an in depth view of LightSwitch and had high expectations. Being recently printed, I knew it would be quite up to date and have the latest knowledge of this subject. Like I mentioned, the publisher should never have allowed this to happen as their are many ways of making an image dark and magnifying the print a little. I finally sent the book back and Amazon was nice enough to reimbursed the cost. I am sorry for the author as it seemed to be a very good book and just what I was looking for.If you don't mind the print quality, then this appears to be a very good book for understanding LightSwitch in more depth.I did look at the summary pages of the ebook version and they are much more easily read and acceptable, so all is not in vain and I highly recommend purchasing the book this way but not the printed version. Perhaps the publisher can improve the print quality of this book without too much difficulty. If I were the author I would insist that the publisher do somethinhaving the bookg about the poor print quality and quickly reissue it.Update: 8/28/2012I now repurchased this book as an ebook version. I downloaded it to my developer laptop and highly impressed on how much easier it is to read the screens. As LightSwitch is new to me, having the book opened on one tab browser while having another browser tab opened with LightSwitch makes it easy to follow and develop according to the steps in the book tutorials. I find this great as I can read and develop along at the same time following following step by step the tutorial. I must say the book is well written and the author presents every step clear and easy to understand. He goes into depth on the more difficult areas and covers a lot of information. The book has been very helpful and also a continual aid while I am programming.Like I said the screens are excellent in this version and nothing but good things to say about the authors hard work in presenting LightSwitch. I have been developing for 20+ years and find this to be very helpful and informative. Highly recommend it...
