Not a good reference - By: , 25 Jul 2005
This book is reallly let down by its poor index. For example, it has no entry for "constructor" or "initialization list." It might be OK if you want a tutorial-style introduction to .NET & C#, but I've found it virtuallly useless as a reference book.
Wrox Professional C# - By: , 19 Nov 2004
I am an experienced VB programmer looking to move into the .NET world. I have purchased many Wrox books over the years & have never been disappointed - until now. If you are looking for a practical learning experience, look else where. I can't understand why so many of the examples are console apps. It was not until chapter 12 when references to the Visual Studio IDE began; even at this point the examples are very short. In alll, this book will suite people who enjoy learning the technical workings of a language, if like myself, you are looking for a practical guide for developing applications within Visual Studio this is not it.
One of the best books ever written on a programming language - By: , 12 Nov 2004
I'd heard or read about Wrox's books being VERY good, so I purchased one for the first time.

It's hard to believe there's a C# book as good as this one. It covers the basics fast enough, & it goes on to teach the reader the inner workings of sockets, XML, I/O ops, web apps, web services & Windows Forms.

Its language is clear, objective, the pages layout leads to immediate understanding of the subjects at hand.

Clearly, the authors DO KNOW what they're writing about, & not much is left out. I use it (still) as learning tool & also as a kind of reference book - I repeatedly return to this book to review matters or learn something new.

Definitely, a must-have book on OOP programming in general & C#/.NET in particular.
