Initially, I did not like the book as I was using it as a reference like a dictionary. But once I started reading it by the page sequence, I started to see the progression of the topics. It is a straightforward C# book that cuts the unnecessary wordiness of some books and goes straight to the point. Highly recommended. There is also a very useful run-through of C# development using Visual Studio 2008.

This book walks the user from the fundamental principles of C# development through to the latest language features such as LINQ. The second part of the book shows you how to apply this knowledge to various target systems from desktop to mobile devices and web applications including the latest Silverlight 2.0. The appendices provide useful material too such as the often overlooked process of generating documentation from your C# code.
It provides a good understanding of C# development for the beginner while also providing a well structured reference book which more experienced developers can dip into - Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a head start in learning C# programming. It has a lot of coverage from the language to application development. There are a lot of sample codes to guide you through.

This book is easy to read and understand. It covers the basics and goes into more advanced topics. You can use it as a reference or read it from the beginning if you are new to C#. I have been using C# for years, but started by skimming the first chapters and was able to pick up a few new things and increase my understanding of others.

Great c# book, this is one book that I pick up often when I need information.
