If you already know well about sitecore. this helpsIf you want to learn something out of it you will end up freaking out not knowing what you are doing. This is what i feel now

This is a great book if you are a beginner Sitecore developer and searching for a single entry to learn its basics and core features. The approach taken in this book is learning by doing, without long introductions or boring retelling of documentation. The entire book is a set of "recipes", grouped by Sitecore subsystems, which shortly describe a problem you need to solve and follow you step by step to the solution. This way you quickly learn what Sitecore can do and how to make him do it, and later you can dig more inside a topic with good understanding of practical side of it.Recipes are well written, short and clear. A lot of them can be applied to real world Sitecore solutions. All major Sitecore topics are covered here, including MVC, analytics, search, workflows, caching, scalability etc. There are also plenty of references to resources with advanced solutions and explanations. I think seasoned Sitecore developers can also find some interesting solutions or Sitecore features they didn't use and add them to their toolbox.

The book is targeted to Sitecore/.Net developers' community providing deeper insights in to the key APIs of Sitecore with step-by-step explanation in each recipe.Yogesh has done really nice job by explaining the recipes along with the code bundle which helps practically understanding the recipes. While reading I am feeling properly directed through each and every steps without loosing the context. This book feels more like a step-by-step guide for all Sitecore beginners and also provides different perspectives for intermediate and experts.I am feeling really excited while going through the book and looking forward to implement in future projects. Must read for all Sitecore professionals.
