 Great book for as intro for C#, .NET, and OO
I've not done a great deal of development in many, many years. The development world has changed quite a bit in the last 20 years. While development isn't my full time job, I sometimes have a need to automate a task or two. For many years, Perl has filled that need for me (and it's a language my old man brain can still understand).
br /
br /I decided to update my development skills, and set my sights on .NET and C# (since I have decades old C experience). I found this gem at the local library in my initial research. Picking up a few things, I then started buying a library worth of C# books. But time, and time, and time again - I come back to Jeffery's book which gives clear, concise examples.
br /
br /I highly recommend it.

...succeeded where others have failed!
I had to change the rate from 4 to 5 stars, as I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It's straight-forward, detailed, explanations are not wordy and the uncomplicated treatment of C# and simple but good working examples made me love this book! This is a good book for you if you know the ABCs of programming, but would be better if you're familiar or know the basics of C or Java, since they've similarities in terms of syntax. You must supplement this learning with another book as learning doesn't come with only 1 book. Overall, if you are beginner to intermediate programmer or someone coming from another programming language, then I would say buy this book to fasttrack your learning with C#. Not for advanced or expert level, but highly recommended for self-taught programmers! Nevermind the minor typos, I can live with those. It's the content and the way the topics are explained that got me hooked on finishing the book. I've seen Learning C# and Programming C# by J.liberty, Sams 24-hours C# book, Deitel's (sooo heavy and wordy), and Jack Purdum's OOP in C#, they didn't come close to J.Suddeth's book in my opinion, simply because so much details are trying to be explained by those authors which for me is too much to digest when in fact can be explained concisely and briefly what Jeff did here. Another good book that I've browsed but come close to buying is C# Unleashed (by Hoffman, i believe).
 Okay book, but has errors.
Even though Jeffery Suddeth says you can download the code examples, his internet site no longer exists(you are taken to a generic website), so you cannot download any code. I sent him a couple of emails, but he never responded to them. No exercises are provided. A mediocre book as far as I am concerned.
Awesome Concise Introduction
As an amateur programmer, this book was an essential introduction to the world of C#. It starts by outlining the basic principles of the langauge and with the common logic that all programming languages share and elaborates the specific syntax by example.
br /
br / The author understood that a complete understanding of all C# lingo and exceptions was needed for further instruction and takes you step-by-step through each of these particulars.
br /
br / The form and networking section was a bit beyond my needs but even here the author continues to break down each concept into regular english. I don't usually review things (this is my first review :)) but I felt that this book really deserved some praise.
This little gem...
...is one of the best programming books I ever read.
br /
br /This book is better than many famous C# books and I realized that only when I started to read it and went through the examples. From the outer look of the book (physical look) one can jump into conclusion about the quality of the book.
br /
br /It gives you the feeling of control, and explains everything you need to know to tame the IDE beast, and to write console and WinForms applications without any help. Every sentence in this book is chosen with the reason.
br /
br /Rare authors of programming books have this talent. The same feeling I had with the book ISBN:0072253606. Pure perfection. I would advise potential new and old authors of the books to read this book as a study guide of How to write programming books. Many famous authors can learn a lot from Jeffery and his style. Reading this book was an intellectual pleasure to me.
