The best way to get started with CSLA.NET

mchlsync posted on Thursday, October 02, 2008

Hello,

What is the best way to start learning CSLA.NET? Initally, I was looking for online tutorial or blog series to learn abut CSLA.NET but there are not so many resources so I decided to buy ebook CSLA.NET 3.0 from store.lhotka.net. (no way to see the content of that book at that time.)

When I started reading it, I found that this book is for those who are already faimiliar with CSLA or who already read Expect Business Object and CSLA 2. So, I'm very disappointed about that.

Could you please share me if you have any recommended resource (e..g links or blog post or etc) to learn about CSLA?

Thanks in advance.

Yes the CSLA 3.0 eBook is a follow on and you really need the version 2.0 eBook too.  The expert book is also worth getting and I'm sure you could pick that up pretty cheap second hand somewhere.

Alternatively, Rocky is working on the next book which I think is scheduled for release sometime in December.

HTH.

expert business objects 2005 should do the trick, until expert business objects 2008 comes out.

I agree that the business objects book is the way to go, but the following site helped explain some of the basics to me.

It's not for clsa 3, but it may help you a bit.

You may also want to go to www.dnrtv.com and watch the shows I've recorded (in reverse order), because they are quite valuable.
