2.0 out of 5 stars Rush to publish!, March 3, 2006
This review is from: Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Programming for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
Although the book is readable and avoids the geekspeak often found in programming books, there are too many glaring errors in this first edition. If you precisely follow the instructions, even the universal "Hello World" program does not work. True , you only have to change a tab index number to zero but nothing of this is mentioned and an "absolute beginner" will find this frustrating. There are multiple other errors and omissions that lead one to believe that there was a rush to get this book out there first. I would suggest waiting for the second edition or purchasing a book that has been proofread more closely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Beginner, January 14, 2006
This review is from: Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Programming for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
This is a great book. Just perfect for a beginner. I knew nothing about programming. After reading the first chapter I was able to create a Picture Viewer in Visual C# Express. At the end of every chapter you build a cool application or game. You not only learn how to use Visual C# Express but also C# the language. Highly recommended for the "Absolute Beginner".

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for the beginners, September 15, 2006
By 
This review is from: Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Programming for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
I read this book sometime ago and its an ok reference for beginners. It was easy to read and easy to understand (maybe because I have some solid understanding in programing but I doubt a complete beginner will understand everything).

Good examples (step by step), good tips...point to the right direction... my interest was kept the whole time
