Wow this book is comprehensive! It is a complete cookbook of recipes to improve your physical ability to have fun in the mountains. It's deceptively easy to imagine that a Pilates class and a couple hours a week on an elliptical trainer are all it takes to play safely and comfortably in the mountains on the weekends. Many of us over 30 with career and kids have learned the hard way that this isn't enough.

I'm teaching myself C# from scratch, with no relevant programing experience. I bought this book as a companion to Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Step by Step. I read it a couple chapters behind the Microsoft book and find that its explanations of the material flesh out the concepts introduced int the Microsoft book. It's been a perfect combination for me. A wish list item would be for a PDF version of the book. I find it easier to have the book up on one screen while having Visual Studio up on another.
I would recommend this book to any true beginner - like myself.

I'm using this book to teach myself C# from scratch. I have virtually no relevant programing experience so I'm really starting from square one. I found the book and the exercises very easy to follow and easy to understand. The included files are invaluable. I looked at a lot of other books first and am very glad that I started with this one. I also purchased Beginning Microsoft Visual C# 2008 (Wrox Beginning Guides)at the same time and I'm reading it a couple chapters behind the Microsoft book. Between the two of them I've learned alot.
