Apress does a real good job [Posted on 2008-07-03]
This book allowed to literally give away 3 rows of programming books. Apress always does a good job on their publications. This book is really all an experienced C# programmer needs in his library (aside from a good ASP.net) book for web design techniques
Excellent Resource [Posted on 2008-07-31]
Like Andrew's other books, this book is well written. It is an excellent resource for C# syntax, concepts, and under the hood workings. Unlike other technical resources, this book reads easy. The author doesn't jump full bore into a deep technical discussion without building and explaining concepts through concise, yet simple, language and numerous examples. A recommended desk ornament for any hard core programmer.
Elegant writing and thorough coverage [Posted on 2008-09-10]
Fresh from bashing the bloated idiots' mind-dump produced by Wrox on this subject I felt compelled to put in a glowing endorsement of this very well written book. It's a fairly meaty book, intermediate to advanced I think, but so well written it's a joy to read.
Comprehensive and well-written [Posted on 2008-11-07]
Pro - This book covers a lot of ground. The writing is clear and the explanation is good. This is definitely one of THE C# books to read.
Con - Considering this is a book for professionals by professionals, I think some of the materials here may be too elementary for experienced software professionals. I also agree with other readers here that it does not cover enough of the 3.0+ material here. But I would imagine if it did, the book would be "super-huge".
Verdict - Overall, it's worth reading but you also have to be very motivated (reading 1000+ pages book is not always that easy). I recommend you to skim through most of part 1 and 2 of the book if you are already familiar with the topics (or reference to them later) and choose the part(s) of the book that interests you. Then read other additional books to catch up more specific .Net 3.5 related topics like WPF, WCF, LINQ, etc.
Great intro to .NET through curly braces [Posted on 2008-11-29]
I was given this book by a friend when I was leaving a Java shop where I was a junior developer to go to a .NET shop.
This book did a great job of helping me navigate syntactic differences between Java and C#, and even helped me become a better developer overall.
Great book for beginners.
