Featured Customer Reviews a must for all interested in c# 2005, December 30, 2007 I ordered this product coz in Mexico i just couldn't find it... It seems that the best titles are only in the US and it's a good thing that we can make international orders for them. This little piece of art it's one of the bests i've had. It's very well explained and also serves as reference for specific methods. highly recommended Carlos Silva Terrible Book - Don't Waste Your Money, October 01, 2007 WAY TOO MUCH FLUFF. Buried in all of this filler text are obfuscated details of the language. There are no real examples that can be followed. I wish I could get a refund because I really feel like I wasted my money. It's all there, April 12, 2007 Not only is this book a complete reference, it has relevant examples. This author seems to have years of real experience and it shows. The sections are logically ordered so that everything i'm looking for is in easy reach. This book has saved me a lot of time. Solid Coverage of the Topic, March 08, 2007 As an MCAD, I think this book provides excellent coverage of C#, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reference for the language. I think some reviews on this book were looking for more of an introductory step-by-step sample format, which this is not. This is most appropriate for those with some programming background, who want to add C# to their list of languages. Adequate but full or errors, February 26, 2007 Like many other reviewers, I purchased this book alongside the MS Press 70-536 Training Kit. This book really can only be useful for an experienced C# developer who is looking to fill in any knowledge gaps concerning the language itself. Such a person would be able to spot the numerous errors and move past them without harm done. However, I could not, in good conscience, recommend this to anyone actually seeking to learn the language. As an example, on page 21, the unary operators are described with examples for each. However, the postfix increment "++" and postfix decrement "--" operators have their examples swapped. Once again, someone already in the know wouldn't be too bothered by this and would figure it out immediately, but for others, it could result in quite a bit of confusion.
