Fun Way to Learn

If you want a dry reference to advanced C# topics, read the .NET SDK documentation from MSDN and perhaps the C# language specification. This book does not give you advanced topics per-se, it gives you the tools you need to learn the advanced topics. The author obviously enjoys developing software, a trait that unfortunately many in my industry (software development) have either forgotten or simply don't have. I learned to program when I was very young, using BASIC on a Commodore 128. From there, I learned Pascal, then C, then C++, then Java, and now I am spreading out into C#, Python, and C++/CLI. Throughout my 20-year journey of programming, one thing has remained the same - I love writing software. This book captures that same love of development and uses it to teach. If you want to be inspired to learn more about .NET and the C# language, this book is for you. If you need cookie-cutter code to cut-and-paste into one of your projects, this is definitely not the book for you. Mr. Kimmel is an excellent guide, and has definitely tapped into that "quality without a name" in this book.
