I usually don't give reviews but I feel compelled to voice my opinion on this excellent piece of work! I've found that most if not all books attempting to cover software development as applied to the securities markets to be lacking in depth or either a total joke e.g. (C# Applied To The Financial Markets)! This book DEFINITELY departs far away from either of the two! I am an entry level dev working for a proprietary options trading firm and this book has been of tremendous help! I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a well written and explained piece of work on the subject of .NET development applied to the financial markets.
