Extremely Well Written

It's hard to categorize this book. You not only you get an overview of C#, detailed emphasis on some aspects of application development, but it also provides an overview of .NET technologies, like various other .NET "Programming" books. So it's like one and a half books in one. You should certainly study a beginner's book on C# before reading this (mine was C# Primer Plus, which I recommend), though read this you should, because...

Best value for the time and money

This book is among the best I have read while preparing for my MCSD.Net certification. It explains in very expert and easy to understand way how a real world application can be developed, using different pieces if .net framework. Each code fragment is expalined in detail. It gives reader code tamplates which can be reused in verious projects. Chapter organisation and excerises are also excellent. It also offers console application...

Great overview!

This book is extremely well written, the topics are presented in a clear and logical manner and the explanations are great. It has an excellent introduction to the .NET framework, a C# overview (this is NOT a book for learning C# from scratch), a chapter on UI programming (event handling, menus, controls, dialog boxes etc), Assemblies and Deployment, the .NET framework class library, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, Security...

Concise and Complete. A practical guide at many levels

While most books on this subject tend to jump around and offer a lot of code snippets that may or may not apply to your application this book uses a sample application "Hotel Reservations" throughout that illustrates nearly all of the language fundementals while emphasizing the .NET framework. The application is developed in a way that does not necessarily tie you to the Visual Studio.NET development environment but still...

Excellent C# book

Unlike some technical texts, this C# book by Robert Oberg is actually pleasant and straightforward to read. There is a good balance of narrative and examples, new features being introduced, explained and demonstrated. There are helpful hints along the way for experienced Java and C++ programmers. The book focuses on the C# language but the coverage of ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Visual Studio.NET, web forms and web services is all there...
