I just completed reading chapter 3. In that chapter I found what I believe to be few issues. I say believe because I plan on reading the book first and then testing the code.

1. The following quote is taken from the chapter 3. The SQL is not listed in the book.


2. The method GetPermissionsByAccountID hard codes the account number to be 1

3. The method GetPermissionByID should return a list. Since the PermissionID is unique, this method should return a Permission Object instead of a list

4. The Login method in the AccountService class is listed twice. The two listings do not match.

#3 I am not sure of what you mean this response. That's okay because I had a brain cramp when I wrote my initial post. The GetPermissionByID should NOT return a list as it looks up the permission by the primary key. That's what I should have written.

#4. The code for the AccountService contains a Login method. When the complete AccountService method is listed, the Login method is listed one way. The book then shows the Login method once again. This second listing differs with the first listing. The difference being the return value of GetAccountByUsername. The inital listing correctly shows that the return was a single Account where the second listing has a return value as a List of Accounts. I was just pointing out the inconsistency of the listings.

By the way, my overall feelings about the book are very positive. This book is exactly what I was looking for.

Take care
