This review is from: Visual C# 2005 How to Program (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Visual C# 2005 (2nd edition) is an excellent book, while it is very lengthy, the book covers most of the topics with an extreme amount of detail. While the main focus of the book is C#, coverage of XML and ASP is also included. The review questions at the end of each chapter made this book have a text book feeling commonly seen in a classroom, but this was highly useful. This book is not meant as a quick intro into a programming language, but rather an intermediate or deep study of C#.

This review is from: Visual C# 2005 How to Program (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book is too expensive, plain and simple. It does not deliver for the price you have to pay but it is "academic friendly" so you'll have to buy it if you take college programming classes.
The book starts out very slow and drawn out. So many statements are made by the authors in this book that, while they are indeed true, are so abundant and on even the most mundane topics you forget what you're supposed to be learning. The authors wrote a programming book in which they dedicate painful step by step procedures (with complete screenshots) of how to start a new project in the VS IDE and such. I find that insulting. If you have this book, chances are you have been using Windows for more than two weeks and know how to create new documents, etc from the standard menu items. Also, chances are this isn't your first programming book. It is not marketed as a complete beginner book or for an introduction to programming course. Visual Studio isn't THAT complicated to start using; I'd be very surprised if any reader of this book would be completely lost if they didn't have their hand held while starting a new project. "Click File - New Project. Click OK. See Figure 3.1." They repeat this type of hand holding all throughout the book. The book "Programming in the Key of C#" devotes one small paragraph to the process of creating a new project, and this is very much a beginner's programming book. No figures, no screenshots just a very simple explanation. They go all out in the minutia to woo academia because it's so correct. It has the sense of completeness but lacks where it counts; understanding the topic. In their painful attention to detail and accuracy (which are usually good qualities to have), they have gone too far to see the forest for the trees. What's worse is sometimes you'll find pertinent information buried within the fluff, so you can't skip over anything. I could explain what a flower is in 10 pages of semi-related information while going off on tangents and you still wouldn't know what a flower was. It's just as important to show readers the information they need to know, as it is to hide from them the information they do not need to know. Here's a quote directly from the book: "Exception handling enables programmers to create applications that can resolve (or handle) exceptions." Exception handling lets you handle exceptions....

visual c# 2005 how to program,
This review is from: Visual C# 2005 How to Program (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I like the how to program series from Deitel, I own several books including the Java third edition and the C++ second edition. my favorite is the java because has a neat cyberspace add on. The book is ideal for a Java programer who likes to learn Visual C#, the languages are similars making the transition smooth. The book offers numerous code examples and it is easy to download the software from microsoft for free. To my taste I would rather prefered the GUI interface introduced earlier than chapters 13 & 14. it makes the first 12 chapters arid using console interaction only. Overall is an exellent book as the whole how to program series is.
