Perhaps "hated" is too strong of a word. Let's just say I was very humbled
when reading this book. I considered myself a fairly skilled programmer
until I tried reading this book. I thought it dove deeeeep into the abyss
of the .NET framework and assumed you clearly understood all the concepts he
discussed ...which of course I didn't. I kept saying to myself
"..whoa...huh?...slow down baby!..."
