Summary: Great Second Book
Comment: After reading "C# Primer Plus", I was looking for a programming book that uses the FCL and VS .NET in earnest, providing a good introduction to Win Forms, ASP.NET, and Web Services. I found that in this book. It's very clearly written, and explains the basic concepts well without much non-sense, unlike "Programming C#".

My main concern is that it's coverage of core C# is somewhat skimpy. Important subjects such as data types, delegates, interfaces, and polymorphism are either not covered at all, or mentioned just in passing. So you are still going to need an in depth book on core C#. I recommend "C# Primer Plus", which I believe you should read before this one. Nothwithstanding some overlap between the two, they complement each other very nicely. This one will smooth the transition from core C# to usage of the bread & butter classes that are included in .NET.

Summary: Good book on C#
Comment: This covers many of the important aspects of C#. I like the Good Programming practice and Software Engineering tips very much.

Only problem is the font and the bold highlighting is so much that it makes the book hard to read continuously. Page starts to blur after a while. My other book is a Sams teach yourself C# in 21 days. The text is muuuuuchhh more readable.

Summary: Good Introduction to C# and related technologies
Comment: In covering the subject, Deitel and company provide a good overview of not only C#, but object oriented programming concepts, and using solutions that take advanatge of XML, ADO .NET, and ASP .NET. An introduction is provided of the Visual Studio .NET development environment. The 800+ page book includes 152 "Live-Code" programs with C# program code, and over 353 programming tips.
