Summary: Good Start to Learning C#
Review: The book was helpful in starting me on the path to writing in C#. It was easy to understand unlike other books on programming I have read and had examples and projects that were doable by me not just those who wrote it. It did take me longer than 24 hours to finish but was worth it.

Summary: Good for Beginners
Review: This is a very good book if you have no previous C# experience. I decided to read this book after reading Sams Teach Yourself C# in 21 Days and I found that all the programming concepts were review. I did like this book's focus on the Visual Studio .NET IDE and Windows forms, though. It shows you some basics on using list views, tree views, etc. which Teach Yourself C# in 21 Days completely skips. If you're looking for some simple Windows form concepts or if you're looking to learn C# with no programming experience, this is a good book, but people with C# experience and some Windows forms experience can definitely skip it.

Summary: Confusing/missleading terminology
Review: Too much tutorial for VS.NET, not enough on C#. If you know something about C++, then steer clear from this book. It uses confusing terminology in wrong context. For instance they inaccurately refer to an "object of 'type'" as "Object derived from class". Derivation in OOP has a very different meaning. Also they repeatedly call a class as a "template" for an object. There are more similar confusing wordings and terminologies. I understand they wanted to be illustrative but IMHO they fell over the fence and rather confuse the reader.
