Rating: - Ok, for being first. Now its superseded
This book has at least 10 authors and is fun to read for the first few chapters. Then I really got annoyed to read the same things over and over again and at the same time I missed some more in depth explanations. A lot is done with the framework itself. This is probably due to the very early delivery date of the book. Though I really enjoyed the C# example (game of life) I think you be better served with Hollis, Lhotka "VB.Net Programming". Also there seem to be quite a few other books out by now.
Rating: - Okay...but
This is a good introduction to .net, as the cover says, but me thinks it was just a ploy to make money. Not very useful at all, but if you are a beginner to .NET, then you might want to browse through it to get a general feel for the framework.
Rating: - Great Overview for .Net
I have purchased several Dot Net books as of late. I thought the book was very thorough as an overview. This book was not intended to be a programmers guide to any single language in the Dot Net suite. But if you want a book to give you some insight as to what Dot Net is all about, this is a great place to start. I also purchased Wrox "Programming C# with the public Beta", although this book is being replaced with Professional C#, I still learned much from this title as well.
Rating: - For .NET newbies
This book is exactly what it says it is. It is an Intorduction to the .NET. It does not go in depth, however it shines some light on the .NET in general. If you are a COM/DCOM developer and you would like to find out what .NET is all about, this book is definately for you. If you already know what .NET is about, then look for a more in depth per each subject books. I rate it with 5 stars since it delivers what it promises and definately worth the money. Great job!
Rating: - Good technical overview of .NET
Not having read much online information about .NET I was pretty happy with this book. There's a chapter on each of the major .NET features including the Common Language Runtime, C#, VB.NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Winforms etc. It definitely removed a lot of the mystery of .NET for me. Previously all of the info I had read on .NET was vague generalities but this book really gets down to the actual details.
I would only recommend this book to people who are experienced with ... Read More
