Learn C#: Includes the C# 3.0 Features

Precise and concise, excellent for beginners and not only.Some experience in programming is welcome as a background.

I normally take time to digest computer books I acquire, but this one took my by surprise. Precise and concise, it focuses on important points of the C# language, without losing time in superfluous details. After each concept, a practical example is given that helps its reinforcement. I read the book in one shot and it constitutes a reference on my desk, for my every day work. I only regret that the C# 3.0 chapter is too short and seems to have been added to an earlier edition.

I found that this book was extremely helpful in learning the key basics of the C# language. I am a novice programmer and trying to learn C# in order to become a developer and eventually take the MCPD (Microsoft Certified Professional Developer) exam. I am currently in college and have taken a class on C but this book with the examples provided the basics I need to continue forward. The author only shows examples of console application but from a beginner's standpoint I think this is a great place to start. The language throughout the book was easy to understand and having examples to support what the author was trying to teach was helpful. The book has tutorials, examples, and drills that helped me to better understand what I was studying. I would recommend this book to anyone that has some basic programming skills and wants to learn about the C# language.

This is the best of the best C# learning book available on market today. It is focused in really teaching everything so you realy understand. The author doesn't care to show you that he knows a lot and that he is proficient in explaining things like a cientist. He explains concepts so you catch them without need to read an explanation again. Congratulations for the first book of about 4 I have tried to read, but couldn't finish due to useless exhaustive explanations, that made me more confused than before. The author explains concepts like Generics, Classes, Methods in a way thay I could finally understand, with its simplicity and calm way to teach. A hundred times better than those best sellers, that achieve that condition due to marketing. This book will achieve the status of a really language teaching book, not one more of those printed MSDN Documentation books.

Great Book I am coming from Java and C++ background but I am new to C#. I read this book and I found it very easy to read. Through good examples and clear text, it took me to the depth of the language in a very short time. I recommend it for beginners and programmers coming from other programming languages.
