Professional C# 2005 with .Net 3.0

Since I have some experience with VB .net I thought at the begging, that when I want to move to c#, I'll buy a small volume book and go thru the language. Appeared that was the hard way for me, those instance/accelerated books Are as their name suggested and it wasn't helpful for me. After that I decided to buy this book and to invest time in reading it. And to tell the truth -it filled my expectations. The book is good not too complicated , gives you the right direction and Covers what you really need to know. It's also contains the latest information and this edition has improvements In some chapters like: threading ,collection, networking,...and more. It contains a lot of staff and I think it's great ,because you can Approach later to subject and start learning it when you have the time. I highly recommend this book for new and experienced programmers. Don't be intimidated by it's large size (around 1800 pages), for me it's worth every penny. One thing is the paper back , it would be more convincement if this was A hard cover due to it's high volume. Hope you Enjoy it as I.

This book is an excellent introduction to many great topics. I use this book as my C# bible and supplement it with other books when I need more detailed information about a subject.

I seriously don't agree with the previous reviewer's. The title says it all, it is for "Professional". Not for a kid, who finds out grammatical errors in a book. If you are a Pro developer, you will get the point across and do your work what you need to do. Not crib about the minor faults. This book is a serious book for serious people. The Complete book, I would say. I use it on a daily basis and is a GREAT reference for my work !! Kudos Authors !! Great work done !
