Summary: The book is not worth more than 5 dollars
Review: This book (is) absolutely (bad) in my opinion. They show a light over view of the controls which helps as much as dragging on the form. They never cover the datagrid, not even a mention of reflection and once they get close to a topic they stop. As far as intro to OOP technology get something else. The only part I enjoyed was maybe multi-threading and MIT.They did a good job on Java but this book rarely explains things in detail but for a teacher its pretty good with a lot of examples. Which brings me to another point that I ABSOLUTELY hate about this book. In order to see an example of lets say a file stream reader, you have to dig through 3 or 4 pages of code just to see a simple example. I mean they should have a lot of little examples and maybe 2 or 3 real world designs at the end and that would at least save shelf space in my closet. It doesnt deserve space on my bookcase. Dont let anyone fool you, get another BOOK!

Summary: "Inclusive, Pleasant, Obvious and Example rich Book "
Review: This book is intended for experienced programmers. I fond of this book much, because it explores the C# in depth and features 230 Live-Code programs, 402 Programming tips! This book provides all the essential, required details about C#. This book wraps not only C#, it also delves deep into all the allied advanced topics such as ASP.NET Web services, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Windows Forms and XML.
The usage of wireless applications is rising rapidly. Within few years, the number of people browsing the Web from wireless devices will exceed the number browsing from desktop computers. This book provides all the details about the Mobile Internet Tool Kit. They introduce mobile Web controls and mobile Web Forms that can be used to create ASP .NET applications that target a wide range of mobile devices. This book also covers device-specific rendering and how to consume a Web service from a mobile Web application.
With this book, the C++, Visual Basic and Java programmers can get an exhaustive knowledge of C# and they can fabricate next generation of .NET applications. The coverage of the book is excellent and it launches with concise introduction and moves to sophisticated advanced topics.
"Inclusive, Pleasant, Obvious, Example rich Book which provide all the realistic approach for the Experienced Programmer's to dive deep into C#"

Summary: C# for Experienced Programmers
Review: This is a book an experienced programmer should consider adding to their library. It gets right into the matter without too much extraneous text. I am looking at my library right now and I own almost every meaningful book on C# that is available. In my opinion the only two books that are in this same class are Mayo's and Professional C# from WROX. The WROX books tend to be error prone and Mayo can get a little skimmy on certain topics. Deitel does not disappoint. Richter's latest book is very, very good but is not covering the same topics. The bottom line is the Deitel books is a very nice addition to your collection.

Summary: Boring, boring, boring
Review: This seems to be a rehash of the same Deitel style textbook which I suffered through in school. They were boring, boring boring then, they are boring boring boring now. You would be much better off buying Jesse Liberty's great C# book from O'Reilly. It's much cheaper, much better written and it's not boring, boring, boring. It covers more of .NET in fewer pages than this boo, cost a lot less and, unlke the Deitel's, Liberty can teach real programmers with boring them. The Deitel's seem to have created an industry of writing boring wordy textbooks and now they want to move into the O'Reilly/Apress/Microsoft Press space for books about .NET. They don't offer anything over the established books that I have praised elsewhere so do yourself a favor and get the O'Reilly book by Liberty or the Archer book from Microsoft Press. Then get the Troelsen book from Apress to learn how to apply .NET and you won't need anything more. With these books you'll learn a lot more and you'll save money to boot over the Deitel book.
