I have since been recommending it to anyone who will listen.
It has some basics and some advanced, but all is covered in a very well-written, light but detailed manner. The book is almost "readable," as opposed to many (of my favorite) tech books - Vieira has a good sense of humor and is not above stating, very clearly, his opinions of coding methods and so on.
For example, he trashes SQL Server in a couple of instances (I can't remember what) for MS attempting to make something easy for newbies but could lead to serious code/security issues. And since he's a SQL Server guru - and trying to sell his book, obviously - that's refreshing.
In other words, the book is full of good info and is balanced. I like that.
