Oxymoronic

The notion of application architecture applied to a "framework" like .NET is somewhat oxymoronic. This book is credited not to individuals but to Microsoft itself, and such books tend to be more marketing-oriented pitches about how cool Microsoft's software is than serious documents containing deatiled technical information. It has all the right buzzwords like "patterns" and "distributed solutions," but there's little of substance here that couldn't be gleaned elsewhere in a less pedantic package.
