Rating: - Great to learn with, bad resources
This book is very good on teaching the basics of C#, and makes you think a bit. The tutorial driven approach enables you actually get experience in every chapter ( at the end of every chapter are good exercises). The problem is that you do not have the answers to the excercises available unless you have the Teacher edition ( this is a classroom book ) , and Deitel will not help you out in this area ( say if you are stuck on an excercise ).There are also 'Programming Challenges' at the end of every ...

Rating: - A step forward
I would say that this book would be the step after Deitel's C# How to Program. The concepts in this book are more mathmatic then what is in How to Program.
In essance I found explanations of most of the concepts vague.
If you are just beginning to program, then i would say do the How to Program first and Simply C# after. You should be able to write some decent programs and head into an ADO or ASP .net book from there.
Rating: - An excellent approach!
If you are like me and need to have 'hands-on' practice to learn new things, then this is the book for you. Lots of code with concise and detailed explanation of all the concepts being presented. A step by step tutorial with each exercise building on the previous one. You become 'immersed' in the code with the end result that you actually learn something.
Rating: - Very good for a beginner
If you are new to C# and has no experience with other C based languages (C, C++, Java), then this book should be the first book you should read. All the rudimentry concepts are explained in detail. The practice problems are marvelous. The author, unlike most programming authors, clearly understands the paramount importance of writing practice programs to learn a new computer language.
If you want to have a heavy duty understanding of ADO, ASP, and OOP, then this book will come up short. ... Read More
Rating: - Simply C# Bravo!
For the authors of Simply C#. A note from a guy who programs for the challenge and fun of it. I am in chapter 32 of Simply C#. Bravo for a wonderful learning experience! I have seen (and bought) lots of Programming Books (Basic, C, C++) over the years, yours in number ONE on my list..Wow..it is a joy to work with..Thanks..Thomas J. McGrail. Longs, SC
