Rating:  Summary: Same as all the other C# books Review: Not that it's bad, it just doesn't cover anything new. Need a book that covers C# GUI development in detail, or writing ASP in detail. The market has seen enough of how to program object orientedly, or how to write loops.
Rating:  Summary: The best book to quick start C# Review: The book is well structured and very easy to read. It talks almost every thing about C# but a little. The book is excellent for the novice reader and starters.
Rating:  Summary: Well organized, but very boring ! Review: This book covers pretty much all the topics for a beginner. But its just too boring. If your a beginner and you want a good refrence handy when ever you get stuck, this is the book to buy. If you want an intresting book to learn C# I recommend some other book.
Rating:  Summary: C# Unleashed is a Must Have Review: This book is a must have for all serious C# Developers. The topics are well organized to take you from the beginner level to the more advance level with good codes to back it up. It takes you from the beginner's level to the more advance levels with easy to understand codes that help you to understand the concepts and the topics discussed in the book. This book was definitely well thought out before publication. Of course it does not cover everything under the sun about the .Net technologies; but instead,focuses on key topics that will help you to expand your knowledge for further steadies. Overall, the book makes learning C# very easy. Best of all, it delivers what it promises to do.
Rating:  Summary: Clear and Structured Review: This book is by far the best book on C# right now, the second best being C# Primer Plus. This book is very concise, strutured, organised and well written. You won't find a better book than this right now, it goes deep into C#.
Rating:  Summary: Thnx Joe Review: This book is simply excellent. All C# features covered including the ins and outs you experience when you start coding. All samples actually work ( stuff you mr wrox :(! ). Great work from Joe...excellent writer for experienced programmers who like to invest in new technologie.great book...
Rating:  Summary: All-around excellent book Review: This book provides a good base for beginners as well as information to help advanced developers migrate from Java or C++ to C#. It is well written and the code samples, while simple, are numerous and do help you understand the concepts.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful book for beginning C# programmers. Review: This book really delivers on the promises set forth on the back cover. An easy read, you'll find yourself digging into the "heavy stuff" in no time.
What's really neat however is that most, if not all of the code is console (command prompt based) based. Too many times I've opened books from Microsoft and found partial snippets based on form driven application only needing a line or two of code to complete the project. C# Unleashed however, getz you into the grit without the "fluff" and provides example that take from start to finish.
Only area I would have really appreciated more coverage on were DELEGATES and perhaps a bit more coverage on OO design. These topics are a stretch for beginning programmers to master and a stretch even for those who have had a computer for x years (like me). On a brigher note, the DELEGATES material left me wanting more and I'm glad to say, I found it. I suppose it says something good for a book to encourage its readers to hunger for more.
I recommend this book to anyone starting out in C# and even for expereienced C#'rs wanting a bit of reference material. Its a good read.
Rating:  Summary: C# Unleashed Review: This is one of the first books that I read on C#. I continually come back to this book when I want to get some information quickly. The explanations are very clear and the examples illustrate the concepts. Considering the huge size of Visual Studio.Net, no book can cover all topics in complete detail. That would require a set of volumes of encyclopedic dimensions. C# unleashed gives a Programmer with some background in a modern object oriented language a pretty good idea of the C# language and how it can be used. Another feature I like is the appendix which lists the command line compile options. These are also illustrated in the examples throughout the book.
Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: Well this is a great book of the fundamentals of C#. The 3/4 of the book were written good enough. The last 1/4 covering the web stuff was touched briefly but there are other books for writing ASP.NET and Web Services with detailed information.
