Extremely Well Written

It's hard to categorize this book. You not only you get an overview of C#, detailed emphasis on some aspects of application development, but it also provides an overview of .NET technologies, like various other .NET "Programming" books. So it's like one and a half books in one. You should certainly study a beginner's book on C# before reading this (mine was C# Primer Plus, which I recommend), though read this you should, because it's extremely well written and covers many aspects of .NET with crystal clarity, surprisingly so for a book of this scope. About 3/4 of the book covers core C# and overview of technologies, and then two or three chapters are dedicated to core .NET issues. So it's more of a "Programming/Overview" type of book than anything else; the best one I've read though. I would've preferred more emphasis on .NET fundamentals, and application design development. Nevertheless, I'm impressed.I'll keep an eye out for future books from this author!

Best value for the time and money

This book is among the best I have read while preparing for my MCSD.Net certification. It explains in very expert and easy to understand way how a real world application can be developed, using different pieces if .net framework. Each code fragment is expalined in detail. It gives reader code tamplates which can be reused in verious projects. Chapter organisation and excerises are also excellent. It also offers console application development without Visual Studio and also through Visual Studio environment. Various aspects of application developemnt using database is covered very intensely. It covers also ASP.NET and Web Service. And last but not least it does not have any typos!It is a great book have as learning and as reference.

Great overview!

This book is extremely well written, the topics are presented in a clear and logical manner and the explanations are great. It has an excellent introduction to the .NET framework, a C# overview (this is NOT a book for learning C# from scratch), a chapter on UI programming (event handling, menus, controls, dialog boxes etc), Assemblies and Deployment, the .NET framework class library, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, Security and more. All these subjects could span thick books on their own but this book explains what they are and ties them all in together, without going into massive detail. This book works best when you use it to learn about the different areas of .NET and how they work together and reference other books or the documentation for an in-depth look at specific topics.Get this book if:- you are an experienced programmer who is still wondering "what is .NET?" and wants to get a great overview of .NET programming- if you have developed applications the "old" way and need to quickly jump into .NET development and get a job done without having to know every detail of what goes on underneath the hood- if you already know Java or C++ and are looking to learn about the basics of C# and about how you can use it in the .NET framework to get the job done.Do NOT get this book if:- you are looking for a total and complete tutorial on C#- you are a beginner at programming and want to start out by learning the .NET framework (this book assumes prior knowledge)- you want total in-depth knowledge of how the .NET framework works under the hood - if you do not already have (at least a basic) understanding of application programming

Concise and Complete. A practical guide at many levels

While most books on this subject tend to jump around and offer a lot of code snippets that may or may not apply to your application this book uses a sample application "Hotel Reservations" throughout that illustrates nearly all of the language fundementals while emphasizing the .NET framework. The application is developed in a way that does not necessarily tie you to the Visual Studio.NET development environment but still illustrates many of its features. It provides a very good overview of the .NET framework and covers all aspects of the development interfaces from User Controls to Web Forms Page Life Cycle. This book was used as a text in a class of 9 and all reported that they found that it would help them do their job better. I use this book frequently when looking for examples of how to employ a particular C# feature such as Asynchronous Callback or Disconnected DataSets.Thanks to the Authors for a job well done!

Excellent C# book

Unlike some technical texts, this C# book by Robert Oberg is actually pleasant and straightforward to read. There is a good balance of narrative and examples, new features being introduced, explained and demonstrated. There are helpful hints along the way for experienced Java and C++ programmers. The book focuses on the C# language but the coverage of ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Visual Studio.NET, web forms and web services is all there. OO is covered nicely but this is by no means a book on OO programming. I'm sure that there is a need for a .NET book on OO given that many adopters will have no background in this -- something similar to the Java Objects wrox book perhaps.
