5.0 out of 5 stars easy to read - lots of great examples.., March 21, 2004

By A Customer

This book reminds me of teaching a child to walk, to run, to ride a bike, drive a car, and then operate a tank. The text is easy to follow, and there is lots of great reinforcement with examples. MSVC# .NET is a powerful language, and this book helps you make use of everything it has to offer. It's a book that everyone can learn from and use as a reference; from the inexperienced software developer to the experienced software developer.
