Beginning Microsoft Visual C# 2008

It's nice book. All examples there are really basic and written step by step. It's good for a beginner.

I used the Head First book to learn C# but was stumped over and over. Now I have this book (Wrox) which really does the hand holding and teaches the basics from scratch. Difficult concepts like Object Oriented Programming are explained in detail. The chapter on Windows programming is a breeze. I will definitely endorse this book wholeheartedly for "dummy" beginners like me. Now I can, at last, understand the Head First C# book. These 2 books are a great combo. But you start with the WROX book i.e. the book under review. M Khan

This is a great book and is not only for beginners. If you came from other programming languages this book is a good place to start.

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.

To a complete novice, this is a very good start. the freq. "try out" do the work.
