Learn C# (ISBN 1598220357)

The BEST:
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:
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.

Too simplistic for experienced developers:
I bought this book because of the good reviews it received on the Amazon web site. I am a very experienced programmer, having used C, C++ and Java for a total of over 25 years, and from reading the book, I see that conceptually C# does not introduce that much new in terms of programming features, the only difference is the level of direct integration into the C# language of features such as listeners and multicast objects. Given this, I found the book too simplistic for my needs, because as I said, I was already familiar with the concepts and I would have rather had a book that explained useful C# programming idioms rather that explaining how listeners work. I few years back I had bought a C# primer by Stanley Lippman, but I never got to read it, and now it is a little out of date (C# 2.0). However, assuming he has updated this book, I'd recommend him, as he as a fantastic writer, based on having read "Inside the C++ Object Model".

Great C# Book for Beginners:
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.

Brief Introduction to C#:
A quick starter's guide for C#. Not many details are involved though. This book should be your first book for C# if you do not have much computer programming experience.
