Rating:  - Waiting for the Third Edition
Many years ago when I decided to take the C# plunge, it seems I bought just about every C# book printed to quickly get my arms around this new language. Of all the books and through all the recent versions of C#, this Archer book remains a constant go-to for precise information. I don't think you can find a better book to get a full grasp of class design, development and deployment considerations.
I'd really like to see a third edition but until then I'll keep this valuable resources ... Read More
Rating:  - A good reference
When I need to explain an document OO concepts in a C# perspective, this book is a great help in most situations. If you need in deepth knowledge of the code DOM etc. you are stock.
Still it is the only generel C# book that has survived as a part of my .NET book collection.
Rating: - Should be renamed
This is actually an introduction to C#, good for beginners, but not for people who already have a lot of experience on other languages like C++. Title is misleading.
Rating: - A great book for intermediate/advanced developers
As others have mentioned, this book is not aimed at new developers. However, if you are an intermediate or advanced developers, this is a great book for learning C# in depth. One thing I found very useful is that it often refers to C++ or Java to point out differences. This is very important in areas where C# works differently, like calling virtual functions from constructors.
The book shows lots of MSIL for the examples. Although there's a table of the MSIL commands in the back, there's ... Read More
Rating: - Everything I could ask for
For C# developers this book should be required reading. It will teach you to think in C#, to see the answers to problems without writing a line of code.
Archer writes in a very straightforward and easy style. I found the book hard to put down. The explanations are clear and concise.
The examples are extremely well-done. I learned as much from them as from the book itself. You'll want to work through every one of these - you'll learn tons from them.
