Summary: fantastic resource!
Comment: First off there's no jive in this book about console apps or how to draw polygons or other useless stuff. Why can't all computer books be like this? It's just page after page of really solid code that I've been able to use right now. I can't say enough good things about it really. There's some theory here and there but the book mainly focuses on real-world nuts and bolts tasks. Actually the whole book is laid out nicely and builds on previous chapters unlike some of the books wrox has put out in the past. They definitely got this one right. If you want the theory behind NET then keep looking. But if you want to know how to do something useful in C# then you must get this book.

Summary: A very good book!
Comment: I am very pleased with this book. It answers all the necessary questions I have about C# and the .NET framework.
From OOP issues, to integrating C# with VB6 and visa-versa, plus a whole lot more.
It also builds on your learning by having great example games to develop as you build on your knowledge and work through the book.
I recommend it to any VB6 programmers wanting to migrate to C#.NET.
I am even more impressed because after contacting Wrox support and even one of the authors directly, they responding to my questions in less than an hour (via email); and was happy to give more information about .NET in general rather than just answering questions about their book - very helpful. Thank you guys.
Although there is a bug in one of their example games and some text refers to code we have not written yet, the book still does a good job of teaching you C#.

Summary: Good starter reference for good vb6 developers
Comment: If you come from a background of com+, interface implementation, n-tier and so on, and want to get into c# then this is the book for you. It assumes a general level of OO knowledge but goes over it again as a refresher. It covers both web and win(cli/svr) forms,ado.net and more. The book gave me the confidence to keep going with it, and I often use it as a quick reference to some of the concepts. e.g. I used to do X in vb6, I can't quite remember how to do it in C#. I have other .net books but this is the one I use the most. (other books: wrox prof. vb.net; sams asp.net unleashed;ms.net(developmentor) essential asp.net with c# examples)
