Excellent book:
The book is great for those who have a base knowledge of c# programming but also want to improove their skills. Although it says beginning C# 2005, this book is not for those who want to write their first program.
In covers all basic needs of a junior programmer in order to allow him to experiment and create new programs.
Great example code to implement:
Well presented. The code compiles and runs flawlessly. You can figure out the details on your own if you know a little bit about about basic programming--VB, etc. A HUGE time saver.
Bettter than the Pro version:
Even though this is the beginning book it's better than the Pro C# 2005 book written by some of the same authors. I read this book first and the Pro version second. I found that it explains many of the concepts in a more effective way with less words.
Very good book!:
This book provided the support I was looking for. Topic very well presented.
