Featured Customer Reviews Good Starter book but supplement it with another book to learn all the programming constructs in C#,
October 08, 2008 Judging from the reviews here, I probably would not recommend this book if you have never programmed (or used "Windows-like" IDE) before. But if you are an experienced C++/Java programmer new to C# and comfortable with the Windows programming environment, I think this is a pretty good place to start.
Pros:
Good overview of C# 2.0. A much smaller book compared to many books out there. Easy to read (you can probably read/skim through the first 200 pages in a couple of hours).
Cons:
You will need other books to supplement this one to learn the language well but I think it's typical.
Probably the same complaint I have against all computer books - still too long for a beginner's book. It's still 500+ pages long.
Note:
The book does not cover WPF, WCF, WF and LINQ since it is written for C# 2005.
For references, I own:
Troelsen's Pro C# with .Net 3.0, Michaelis's Essential C# 3.0, Hejlsberg's The C# Programming Language 2e.
 a little too quick for a step by step book,
July 24, 2008 Great book for beginner/intermediate level programmers,
July 19, 2008A Good Starter - But Incomplete,
July 04, 2008 This contains what you'd expect to learn about the basics of C#. It does not contain anything on MDI forms, Redo/Undo, or working with MDI dynamic Menus. It is just the basics. I'll sell you mine if you really want a copy.Well written and comprehensive,
June 07, 2008 This is a very friendly yet challenging work on learning C# with many references to C++ as well. The examples are easy to follow and understand and motivate the subjects very well.
