5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books ever written on a programming language, 12 Nov 2004
I'd heard or read about Wrox's books being VERY good, so I purchased one for the first time.

It's hard to believe there's a C# book as good as this one. It covers the basics fast enough, and it goes on to teach the reader the inner workings of sockets, XML, I/O ops, web apps, web services and Windows Forms.

Its language is clear, objective, the pages layout leads to immediate understanding of the subjects at hand.

Clearly, the authors DO KNOW what they're writing about, and not much is left out. I use it (still) as learning tool and also as a kind of reference book - I repeatedly return to this book to review matters or learn something new.

Definitely, a must-have book on OOP programming in general and C#/.NET in particular.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wrox Professional C#, 19 Nov 2004
I am an experienced VB programmer looking to move into the .NET world. I have purchased many Wrox books over the years and have never been disappointed - until now. If you are looking for a practical learning experience, look else where. I can't understand why so many of the examples are console apps. It was not until chapter 12 when references to the Visual Studio IDE began; even at this point the examples are very short. In all, this book will suite people who enjoy learning the technical workings of a language, if like myself, you are looking for a practical guide for developing applications within Visual Studio this is not it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good reference, 25 Jul 2005
By A Customer
This book is really let down by its poor index. For example, it has no entry for "constructor" or "initialization list." It might be OK if you want a tutorial-style introduction to .NET and C#, but I've found it virtually useless as a reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference!
Over the years I've collected bits about various aspects of programming here and there. I always thought I fancied collating it all into a useable reference - not too deep, but... Read more
