Disappointing & Rather Boring,
By
This review is from: C# 2005 For Dummies (Paperback)
I last programmed in Fortran 15 years ago and was hoping to learn a modern object oriented (oo) lanaguage, but I found this book disappointing, hard work and yes, rather boring. Instead of enthusing upfront about the wonders of oo programming, the book first drearily grinds through 99 pages of variable types, arithmetic operators and if statements in completely procedural fashion. "Object-Oriented Programming" doesn't actually come until p211 (after another frustrating 100 pages of technicality), by which stage the book is so far into the nitty gritty of C# syntax that I'm totally lost. So instead I'm going to try the "Head First" Java book (which tries a much more innovative approach) and reverse into C# since the languages are so similar. I won't be bothering with "Dummies" again.

Works well for jumping in and getting started...,
By Thomas Duff "Duffbert" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# 2005 For Dummies (Paperback)
Seems like I've been ending up with a number of C# books in my review pile lately. The most recent one is C# 2005 For Dummies by Stephen Randy Davis and Chuck Sphar. As with many programming language books in the Dummies series, it's a solid coverage of the material for those who are looking for a broad coverage of the material for a first exposure...
Contents: Part 1 - Creating Your First C# Programs: Creating Your First C# Windows Program; Creating Your First C# Console Application Part 2 - Basic C# Programming: Living with Variability - Declaring Value-Type Variables; Smooth Operators; Controlling Program Flow Part 3 - Object-Based Programming: Collecting Data - The Class and the Array; Putting on Some High-Class Functions; Class Methods; Stringing in the Key of C# Part 4 - Object-Oriented Programming: Object-Oriented Programming - What's It All About?; Holding a Class Responsible; Inheritance - Is That All I Get?; Poly-what-ism? Part 5 - Beyond Basic Classes: What a Class Isn't a Class - The Interface and the Structure; Asking Your Pharmacist about Generics Part 6 - The Part of Ten: The 10 Most Common Build Errors (And How to Fix Them); The 10 Most Significant Differences between C# and C++ Appendix: About the CD Bonus Chapters on the CD: Some Exceptional Exceptions; Handling Files and Libraries in C#; Stepping through Collections; Using the Visual Studio Interface; C# on the Cheap Index As I've mentioned in other places, I like Dummies books for the ability to allow me to figure out what I don't know about a subject. If I didn't know Java at all (C# is very close to Java in many, many respects) and wanted to get my feet wet in C#, this book would help me get the foundational skills I need. As someone who *does* already know Java, I think I was more interested in the bonus material on the CD. I really didn't know much about Mono, the open-source implementation of .Net. Nor did I know that there are non-Microsoft imitations of Visual Studio that you can use if you want to code in C# without spending hundreds of dollars for the VS IDE. Cool stuff! This probably wouldn't be the book you'd keep around as your main reference source if you are going to be a C# code-slinger, but it will help you figure out where the gun goes and how to put the holster on... 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful:

Fantastic Book!!!,
By Frederick Masem - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# 2005 For Dummies (Paperback)
If you guys like me are starting programming with C# then
C# 2005 for dummies is the book to buy. It is extremely well explained with great examples, the loopings and object oriented are well explained as well. I purchased about 5 books on C# claiming to be beginners books but they were NOT. Most C# beginner book on C# assume some programming experience but NOT C# 2005 for dummies. By order I will recommend for a newbie in programming who wants to learn C#: - C# 2005 for dummies - The absolute beginner in C# - Beginning C# 2005 from Wrox Again Thanks to Mr Davis for this fantastic introduction to C# 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

C# 2005 for Dummies,
By K. M. Austin "colddarkwhispers" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# 2005 For Dummies (Paperback)
After having a few different textbooks that were difficult to understand I am extremely pleased with the quality, easy understandability and usuability of this book. Paired with my textbooks I have been able to grasp the harder concepts of C# that once were very difficult. There is some knowledge required of the language in order to be able to understand some of the concepts and grasp them fully but this book definitely makes it so much easier. I soon will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Web Design and Programming and feel very sure I will use this book as reference throughout the beginning of my career."A reference for the rest of us!" is definitely an appropriate slogan for the "DUMMIES" series of books.
