Summary: Poor book for current programmers looking to move to C#
Comment: The book is very barebones and basic. It does not cover anything in depth and you will find that you will need another book to help you with your project if you are counting on this one to do so. I find the topics discussed to be poorly documented and for a senior level developer moving to C# this book is not for you. Try APress's "C# and the .net platform" by Andrew Troelson (EXCELLENT BOOK..that has everything you will need to know about .net covered in depth!)

Summary: Hits The Major Topics
Comment: I have thoroughly enjoyed the book and its ability to bring one up to speed with C#. He covers some very basic concepts such as structures, classes, indexers, and advanced topics such as delegates. All the constructs that one needs in order to put the language to work are detailed.
If you are looking for a quick, down and dirty book to jump start your knowledge of the language I would rate the book 5 stars.
One of the biggest challenges with OO languages is not using a procedural style when writing code. The author no doubt has a handle on the C# language. But I don't think he has a handle on OO. As the author mentions, everything in C# is class. With this in mind, I would expect to see good class design throughout the book.
My criticism, which I hope is taken with a grain of salt, is that the examples which wrap up a week's lesson are too procedural. They are spaghetti code that I personally would re-factor before publishing. There is a Main method that is hundreds of lines long with nested do's nested in if's nested in do's that are nested in if's... get the picture?
If this seems like harsh criticism, I apologize. I thought twice about writing this review until I hit is Black Jack program on about page 400.
Respectfully,
A fellow techie

Summary: Its only So So
Comment: I am a start out Programmer but I figured it would be a good book to start from. I did it for a while and I got really bored the leasons took forever. Then I tried a C++ book called WeekEnd Crash course and it was great and kept me interested if you want to do C++ instead of C# try that book
