Summary: Not a good book
Review: I have stayed in a book store for half an hour to scanning the content of the book.
However I find that the authors only explain the C# concept a little bit.
The authors only spent about 350 pages to explain the concept, then they start to teach how to use Visual C# !
As a result, I have bought Programming C#(2nd Edition) instead.I think this book is suitable for immediate developer. (This is my first review in Amazon, although I am one of the customers since 3 years ago.)

Summary: My favorite C# book...
Review: I wanted to learn C# (and learn more about .Net), and I'm coming from a mostly VB and ASP background. I was happy with Wrox's "C# Programming with the Public Beta" book (co-written by Watson), but wanted something that was more complete. At close to 1000 pages, this book certainly FEELS complete. It is also smartly outlined with excellent examples and exercises at the end of each chapter (but where are the answers??). Best of all once you step through the chapters on Windows and the web, there are TWO complete Case Studies (something I love about the Wrox books), and an article about building an Online Shopping Cart Using C#.
This book is similar in quality to Ivor Horton's "Beginning Java 2" books. (Only with better examples, in my opinion).

Summary: A very NOT GOOD book to enter C#
Review: I've read a book of Wrox "Beginning Visual Basic". The author was very detail and organize (Peter Wright) that I decide to get another one from Wrox.
I made a bad choice. The Beginning C# made me confuse with the messy context and explaination. The examples are not explain in detail at all. I had a hard time following the example because as a beginner in C#, I need to know what code to go where, and what does this line means. This book does a very bad job of that.
I feel very frustrated that I decide to put this message to help new reader who plan on buying this book. Good day.

Summary: Excellent for the novice OOP programmer
Review: This book does an excellent job of explaining C# basics as well as object oriented concepts that pertain to C#. The examples are well thought out and simple to follow. While I have 12+ years of traditional C programming experience, I had no experience with object oriented programming languages or techniques. However, I was able to get C# programs running quickly and with little effort. Reading this book has enabled me to work on a C# project for an established data base company which involves porting some C and C++ projects to C#. I highly recommend it to any traditional C programmers who do not know object oriented programming very well but would like to learn. This book smooths that transition to object oriented programming in C#.

Summary: BORING
Review: This is a great book - it explains the concepts quite well, for a person like me, with a PHP background. However, it's incredibly boring. The first 250 pages of the book is dedicated to many small hello-world-style examples of code, which really doesn't explain why or where one should really use enumerations, structs and stuff - I would have preffered to be walked through larger, real-life applications instead. Don't get me wrong - this book is great for looking up stuff, but as a beginner, it's better to complement it with a more hands-on approach.

Summary: Helpful but sloppy
Review: This is a great book. Easy to follow. As with any computer book, boring to read, but not at all hard to follow--with exception of few points here and there. The reward comes when you apply it and when you finish reading it. This book is an answer to my prayers for finding something that will teach me dot net and C# in a comprehensive and easy to learn way. All learning to program books are kind of boring, inluding this one. Easiest to read a bit every day and take a few months to finish, rather than trying to gobble up the hole piece and getting extremely bored. My background is that of a mid-level progammer, working with VB 6.0. I had some knowledge about objects before I picked up the book. kamlesh mistry...

Summary: Great Book
Review: Wanting to move up to a more sophisticated WEB language (from ASP,VB) I've bought quite a few books on .Net and C#. However, all of them left me with a lot of questions on how to just get started with the language. This book solves all those problems. Anyone new to C# or just object oriented programming, can learn from this book. The way that Karli eases you into the concepts and describes what each line of code does is extremely helpful. This book is probably NOT for the Intermediate to Advanced programmer as Karli covers a lot of basic programming concepts. However, It also is a great primer for anyone wanting exposure to the language.
