Good book for novice & students who want to a start up with MVVM. Although book has been written on 1000ft high for small architectural guide,its worth reading.

Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows® Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern:

Aside from the issues mentioned by several others that MVVM is covered in only a tiny part of the book, and that it does not go into anything very deeply, the downloadable code is not what is represented in the book. The code is not exercises as advertised, nor are there pre/post projects. There is just one sample project which does not run out-of-the box due to non-existent references. (Note that even the download link given in the book is wrong.)

Too many topics for only 200 pages, but great overview of best products and practices for LOB applications. Easy reading. I recommend it

Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows® Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern:

This is a book about LOB architecture, and MVVM is only a small part of this book.

There are far better books on application architecture, which are long enough to do the subject justice.

Book feels rushed, incomplete and unfinished.

This book is really good to understand MVVM and other wpf and silverlight. But unable to find the sample code. Please let me know, from where i can download the sample code.

This book doesn't talk only about MVVM but also on how to create a layered application. It does also a comparison between Entity Framework and NHibernate. Nice stuff.

Comments about Microsoft Press Building Enterprise Applications with Windows® Presentation Foundation and the Model View ViewModel Pattern:

The book is not only focusing on the MVVM pattern but it provides a nice overview of how to architect a layered application.
I found it useful and very easy to read and to follow.
