4.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic Introduction, 12 Nov 2002
By Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Learning C# (Paperback)
Jesse Liberty has written an excellent introduction to C# entitled, "Programming C#". That book required some background in an object oriented language such as Java or C++ to get the most out of it. This book is geared for the less experienced developer. "Learning C#" covers basically the first half of "Programming C#" in about 50% more pages. A person without a background in OO will find this book much easier to follow. The book covers the language a little slower, gives more hand holding, and even gives an introduction to Visual Studio. Of course, none of the advanced topics in "Programming C#" (ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Web Services, etc.) are found in this book. The author has a nice style of writing that makes the topics easy to follow. His examples are clear and there are plenty of them. All the basic C# topics are covered including control structures, enums, structs, delegates, operator overloading, polymorphism, interfaces, and collections. The topics covered demonstrate the main features of OO languages without being overwhelming. However, the book is not a complete introduction to C#. Some topics are left out (I/O for example). But overall, the book is a good introduction for the novice object-oriented programmer. If you already have some OO experience then you will probably want to get "Programming C#". If object oriented programming (or just programming in general) is new to you then this would be a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good balance between prose and code, 5 Sep 2003
By Mr. M. G. Poole "mike_p_" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Learning C# (Paperback)
I bought this book to supplement my future developments in ASP.net having programmed for the web using ASP/VbScript for the last 2 years (I suppose others may be migrating this way too). Although I had studied a bit of java and some OO concepts in the past, I still consider myself a relative novice so opted for this book over 'Programming C#' by the same author.

The context for the programming constructs and concepts are explained really well in introductory sections of each chapter. The range of examples which follow are consistent in structure throughout the book and reinforced with succinct, straightforward analysis. The code examples are only as long as they need to be. Initial examples are used as templates to take you onto the higher ground in each chapter which I found rewarding. (The longer examples on delegates did take some reading through but you do get there in the end.) To my mind the quiz sections in other books look gimmicky when you consider how effective this step-wise approach to understanding is.

The book is well edited (I found 1 listing error) and there are good pointers to previous and future chapters amongst the discussion to keep you well oriented throughout.

To admit to enjoying a book just on programming is a bit weird... but I can't really fault this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Teaching Material, 30 Dec 2005
By Recep Guvenc (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning C# (Paperback)
As an experienced software developer and former IT lecturer, I can confidently say that the book increased my confidence in embarking on C# Programming: The concepts were introduced in a simple manner using the minuscule sample codes possible to eliminate complexity. The complex concepts such as events and delegates were easily handled.

No doubt I will be referring to it as a reference manual whenever I fail to implement the conceptual understanding of C#.
I passed my special thanks to the author by a separate email soon after I have completed my reading.
