This is a very good book. I bought it today from a local bookstore. The cover is a little different than whats shown and the price is only $9.95 brand NEW. As far as the content, the book has many examples in each chapter. One example for each new item. If you have programmed before in C++, you'll pick everything right up with no trouble. If you've never programmed before, you might need a bigger book if you have trouble understanding programming concepts like classes and functions. I would suggest getting it if you're interested in programming in C#.

This book is great for a newbie. No programmer knows everything and when you are learning you will find that there are many ways to get to the same end. Understanding the language basics makes it easy to work with all kinds of additional tech books and on line forums. I used this book as a quick refresher of C# basic syntax when I was first learning C#. If you have never programmed before, this book will help get you started.

I ordered the book you see on this page, but I received (thankfully): http://www.amazon.com/Steps-Learn-Program-Visual-Color/dp/076075733X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248393907&sr=8-2

The link above is the book I had actually meant to get, and I'm quite thankful that Amazon was smart enough to figure that out lol.

This book is a fantastic read. It isn't quite "fast"-paced, but it's fast-paced enough that you should be familiar with programming concepts at the very least before picking up this book. It's not SLOW by any means, and it has a very tutorial-like feel about it, and helps you literally become productive and write your first visual application (not a boring console application) within minutes of starting to read it.

I would absolutely highly recommend this book to anybody interested in learning how to build graphical applications with C#. For the price, you simply can't beat it... you can read tutorials on the Internet I guess for free, but this book has it all to get started and then some. Fantastic value.

To get the most of it, just be sure to work through the examples and experiment! Happy programming!
