Expert C# Business Objects is highly recommended to anyone wanting an excellent tutorial on the how's and why's of building business objects for your applications. Regardless of whether you want to use CSLA.NET or not, the book is packed full of good information on key .NET technologies / practices and how to apply them to your design model.
The book doesn't assume much knowledge on .NET and business objects, so it is an excellent guide for beginners. However, I think intermediate and advanced developers will appreciate it as well. The chapters are constructed in a logical order that allows you to easily progress from chapter to chapter in a comfortable manner. The book has a good mix of technical and “learning” information spread within each chapter that makes it enjoyable to read.
