About the Author
Dr. Jack Purdum started his programming career on an IBM 360 mainframe as a graduate student in the 1960s. In the mid – 1970s, he became interested in software development for microcomputers, and he founded his own software development company (Ecosoft, Inc.) in 1977. The company ’ s main product was a statistics package (Microstat) that he wanted to rewrite in a new language called C. Lacking a suitable C compiler, Dr. Purdum ’ s company developed its own MS – DOS – based C compiler and other programming tools. He has been involved with language instruction ever since. Dr. Purdum has authored 15 texts and numerous programming articles and has received several teaching awards. He is currently on the cusp of retirement from Purdue University ’ s College of Technology.

Format:Paperback
I have had a few beginning books but have found the text vague and the exercises take a huge leap of fatih and understanding.
This book is well structured and informative, the only book I have read that actually treats you like a beginner and tells you how about to starting thinking about what you are going to write the five step process BRILLIANT!! and the structure for a class the symbolic constants , static members etc, etc again BRILLIANT.
It is like being in a class for me anyway as I thought hang on not sure what that was all about, the without fault the explanation was there.
I just hope that Mr Purdum has in mind a follow up book that carries on where this left off
Anyway an excellent book, and I can't recommend this enough!
A return to the wrox books of old

Format:Paperback
This is one of the most important books you can read about c# OOP.
If you are a beginner who wants to move on to OOP or just need to understand a little bit more about what goes on behind the scenes, this book is a must-buy.
It is not full of code but there is a thorough discussion of OOP with some code to explain the OOP mechanism.
Thoroughly excellent introduction.

I needed a book to start learning C# as I was looking to expand my skill set. After the good reviews I decided to buy the kindle version of this book. Overall I found the style of the book and how the concepts were explained very easy to understand and made the learning process very simple and enjoyable with little need for head stratching spending time struggling to understand the content.
The reason I have only given this book 4 stars is that there was no section on basics around good coding practice relating to secure coding, for example during the sections on databases string concatenation was used when creating SQL queries using input from the user of the application. A quick overview of the fact this is a bad practice in the real world and a reference to another book or resource describing good coding practice/SQL injection vulnerabilities or OWASP would be very valuable to the reader and anyone they end up writing applications for. I don't know if other 'beginning' type books suffer from this, so this may be applicable to other books as well.
The point raised above shouldn't put you off buying this book, just have a look at the OWASP website or get a copy of the book '24 Deadly Sins of Software Security : Programming Flaws and How to Fix Them'.
I would definitely recommend 'Beginning C# 3.0....' as a starting point for anyone new to C# as it is a great book and you will quickly get to a point where you can understand or work out what c# code is doing and be able to write basic applications, which is a great platform to develop your c# skills from.
Great Book, Thanks
