Rating: - This might just be the only C# book you'll ever need
A natural first step for me when looking for a book is to see what O'Reilly has available. This book was the first hit in my search results. And that hit was a homerun. Jesse Liberty has written a rare Dot Net book, a book that does not waste precious text (read time) editorializing on the wonders of Dot Net or prediciting the extinction of all things not MS. The organization of material is natural and intuitive and Liberty's writing style encourages the reader to keep turning pages without ... Read More
Rating: - Good writing style, lots of good content.
A very good buy, this book goes into just enough detail to stay interesting. The only reason that I won't give it 5 stars is because I don't really like C#/.Net.

But giving some examples is ... Read More
Rating: - Very thorough and descriptive. For beginners as well as advanced readers.
Very easy to read, covers all the relevant topics. Advanced readers can skip the first half of the book.
