I bought this book as a c++ programmer interested in learning c#. It is one of the few programming books I own, which is truely complete in the sense that you need to have read nothing else but this book to get on with the programming. This book is very clear, goes into enough depth to give you a good understanding, but not too deep as to bog you down, is interesting to learn from and is very, very well written. This sort of writing style should be a benchmark for all programming books rather than the usual ambiguity which is all too common in other texts. If you don't know anything about programming and want to learn c#, get this book. If you are already a programmer and want to learn c#, get this book.

I liked the tone of the writing and the layout: side boxes which serve to highlight, tips, or important notes. A lot of the examples provided by the author serve to illustrate concepts really well. I found the end of chapter "Quick Reference" sections useful, as a practical summary of the topics covered in that chapter.
Even though this is meant to be a step by step book, some parts are fairly complete and very reference like.
As I progressed through the book I felt that I would benefit from more exercises / tests, so I could go away and try writing the code to solve them. Obviously having sample solutions to these in the CD maybe helpful too.
Overall a great book to get started!

I bought this book hoping it would do what it said on the cover and I was not disappointed.
This book is a very good introduction to C# that I feel I will be refering to time and time again.
There are plenty of exercises throughout the book and they really do (with just one or two exceptions) help to support your learning of C# and the topic under discussion.
John Sharp has a very enjoyable reading style that makes it a joy to learn a new language.
It's a good book to learn from whatever your programming background - with tips throughout the book to show differences between C# and C, C++ and Java.
As an aside, I've made a couple of attempts at getting into Windows technologies in the past with Programming Windows 95 with MFC and the like which were tediously dry. This author, writing about a modern language, makes Windows development look much more appealing and reduces the barrier to entry!
