Summary: Very Basic Introduction
Comment: Jesse Liberty has written an excellent introduction to C# entitled, "Programming C#". That book required some background in an object oriented language such as Java or C++ to get the most out of it. This book is geared for the less experienced developer. "Learning C#" covers basically the first half of "Programming C#" in about 50% more pages. A person without a background in OO will find this book much easier to follow. The book covers the language a little slower, gives more hand holding, and even gives an introduction to Visual Studio. Of course, none of the advanced topics in "Programming C#" (ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Web Services, etc.) are found in this book. The author has a nice style of writing that makes the topics easy to follow. His examples are clear and there are plenty of them. All the basic C# topics are covered including control structures, enums, structs, delegates, operator overloading, polymorphism, interfaces, and collections. The topics covered demonstrate the main features of OO languages without being overwhelming. However, the book is not a complete introduction to C#. Some topics are left out (I/O for example). But overall, the book is a good introduction for the novice object-oriented programmer. If you already have some OO experience then you will probably want to get "Programming C#". If object oriented programming (or just programming in general) is new to you then this would be a good place to start.

Summary: Excellent starting point to learn C#
Comment: This book is a gentle introduction to C#, the .NET platform, and object-oriented programming. But by gentle, I do not mean weak. There is a wealth of basic foundational instruction in not only the "what", but also the "why's" of the language.
One of the problems I have always had with programming books is that the authors are great technical people, but not-so-great communicators. This book is a refreshing exception to that rule.
Instead of assuming a certain level of knowledge, the author is patiently detail-oriented towards giving you a full understanding of the code you are writing, not just slapping together a bunch of esoteric functions and variables.
If want a clear understanding of both "what" you are doing and "why" you are doing it in C#, this book is for you!

Summary: Good Introduction to C#
Comment: This is a good introduction to C# but you can't depend only on 1 book. You can read Programming C# it's a good book too. I read some articles for an author called Michael Youssef in www.c-sharpcorner.com he's a great author and write in a very simple way that you can 100% grasp I hope that he publish his book soon.
