Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 book review

Posted by Mike Snyder on November 27, 2008 |

We just noticed this review of our recently released Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 book. We received some really kind words from Catherine Eibner, who works as a CRM consultant Down Under. Here's a snippet of her review:

"Initially I just flicked through it to see what was in it, but then kept getting drawn into the examples & sample code and soon had visual studio open trying to work through some of them. I have to say – if you are thinking of doing any programming for CRM 4.0 it really is a fantastic book for you! It starts at the very basics – includes a hitchhikers guide to common questions when you're getting started and extends to some advanced topics like building your own advanced workflows.

I am now tempted to work through the book from start to finish as there are so many cool examples in here that I haven’t yet had the opportunity or excuse to delve into. There are some great code samples & utilities tucked into the different chapters as well as addressing the differences in the 3 deployment options."

You can read her full review if you're interested, and of course you can order a copy of the book on Amazon.com. At more than 600 pages and weighing almost 3 lbs, it makes a great stocking stuffer this Holiday season! (Just jokes, just jokes)

Hi,
In fact I was fetched to this site as I was searching for CRM. This article is good. For those who are beginners like me, I would also suggest another site:-

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the quick reply. Though I have been working in .NET for sometime, your books have ( both working with CRM 4.0 and Programming with CRM 4.0 ) has helped me in a quick passage from being a .NET architect to CRM Consultant.

Thanks a lot.

This book was fantastic and saved us thousands of dollars!!! Now that we are switching to version 5.0 we need a new book!! Any chance you are working on something for 5.0??

Nothing is official yet, but yes there's a pretty good chance there will be a Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011!

Hi @shloma, thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately right now there are no plans for a Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 book.
