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

I haven't bought this book, rather I was reading one of my friend's book. I read first 13 chapters and my comments are based on that only. I found it as confusing book. Even Author is not able to explain bitwise & and logical && operators correctly. He said both are same except performance issue. Same thing I found in "SWITCH" case explaination. I would not reco. this book to anyone.

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.

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.
