Nejde o finální verzi, kniha je z MEAP programu, ale pochybuji, že autoři ji nějako radikálně před vydáním upraví.
Už hned na začátku jsem byl zděšen uváděnými příklady - http://twitter.com/#!/renestein/statu... Kniha je podobnými nesmysly přeplněna, takže užitečné informace v knize jsou překryty vrstvou polopravd, chyb a evidentního nezvládání řemesla.
Také jsem se nemohl zbavit dojmu, že nejužitečnější informace jsou přepsány z MSDN a blogu autorů Entity Frameworku.
Moje očekávání, že mi autoři naservírují něco, co o EF 4 nevím, se nenaplnilo, Možná je to ale i tím, že s EF pracuji od prvních verzí CTP a nejsem cílová skupina.

I stopped reading after chapter 1. I don't think this is a good book for everyone. I mean for those studying Entity Framework. Or maybe, it's just me not feeling it.
