Review: Excellent Read - Very informative and straightforward read, long as most books of this nature are but the table of contents breaks down the chapters effectively to assist readers that just need a quick tutorial on certain aspects of the development in .Net8
Review: A thorough introduction into C# - I used to code in C# in the early Y2Ks and purchased this book to bring my knowledge up to date in anticipation of a new project. I was very much impressed with how much the language grew over this time and how much it was modernized. I knew it was conceived on a solid basis back then, and now it is even a more feature complete, multi-platform and versatile language. This book's success specifically lies with Mark being a fascinating author who has had several editions before and the latest one is incremental improvement which expands on the newly added language features as deploying .Net Types. The start is un-intimidating, and as the book ramps up, you hit quite advanced topics. You will learn all the required skills by the market as tracing, debugging and unit testing, data access, Web Dev, LINQ, and so many more, I doubt any other non-.Net language can offer! In general, I particularly liked that the author supports the development using various programming tools, IDEs and vendors, but also various platforms. I highly recommend this book for anybody starting in C# and the .Net - keep the book handy at work.
