Lightswitch in Action

LightSwitch is a high-productivity tool built into Microsoft Visual Studio that makes it dead simple to spin up a basic data-driven line of business application. That means skipping the busy work and concentrating on delivering apps that customers will love.

LightSwitch in Action is an easy-to-read tutorial that shows how to use LightSwitch to build production-quality business apps with minimal coding and configuration. The book presents LightSwitch in three stages. First it covers how to create a basic data-driven application. Then, it shows how to create custom applications. Finally, it explains how LightSwitch can be a fantastic productivity enhancer for professional software development. It's co-written by a business manager and a developer so there's just enough introductory content to get a tech savvy user started without putting the developer to sleep.
