This is an excellent reference: it answered very clearly and quickly the questions I had about deployment in general, deployment using ClickOnce, and a clear description of the ClickOnce API. I highly recommend.

This book is very well written. Actually that can be said about any book written by Brain Noyes.
It helped me a lot when I was put in charge of the ClickOnce deployment for our project. It had 99% of everything that I needed to know about ClickOnce deployment. Brian's style is very lucid and he brilliantly unfolds the steps in a very logic manner. In short, if you want to learn ClickOnce deployment, this book is a very good investment.
Well done, Brian.

The book is well layed out and documents the ClickOnce menus and options thoroughly. This is great for people who are not software junkies. As a techie I found the descriptions of the interface components a little long winded as most of this information can be deduced from the click once interface itself. I bought the book to troubleshoot a specific problem I was encountering installing Click Once applications with third party DLL's on Windows Vista. The book shed some light on part of the problem but was not really geared towards in depth problem solving when the technology does not work the way it is supposed to.

Of course, at the end of the day, its also really the only book out there on ClickOnce. Its a very good summary of the somewhat convoluted info available on MSDN and other Microsoft sites - it definitely made some things much clearer. It is somewhat lacking in how you would actually use ClickOnce in the real world, unless you are developing internal apps and have a fair degree of control over your servers and your users.
If you are doing anything with ClickOnce, you should definitely buy this book. Just keep in mind that you'll probably need to do some digging on your own afterwards, but this book should make that easier/possible.

I just finished Noyes' book on Microsoft's .NET ClickOnce API and found it to be helpful in understanding most aspects of ClickOnce. It provides illustrations of the user's experience when installing an application through the API, and the book is helpful by providing information for making proactive choices when designing the architecture of your application (such as the security consequences of utilizing 3rd party controls).
