Rating: - Good starter reference for good vb6 developers
If you come from a background of com+, interface implementation, n-tier and so on, and want to get into c# then this is the book for you. It assumes a general level of OO knowledge but goes over it again as a refresher. It covers both web and win(cli/svr) forms,ado.net and more. The book gave me the confidence to keep going with it, and I often use it as a quick reference to some of the concepts. e.g. I used to do X in vb6, I can't quite remember how to do it in C#. I have other .net books but this ... Read More
Rating: - A great start, but the middle is weak
Newbies to C# will very much appreciate the first 5 chapters, as they cover both C# essentials plus a very nice review of OOP. Some other reviewer jokingly compared this book to the writing of Immanual Kant. If he was referring to this first section, I heartily agree. However, prospective buyers should read the scathing treatment of another reviewer here of the subsequent chapters on GUI/Windows application programming. These middle chapters really fall short, with missing or misleading steps in ... Read More
Rating: - A very good book!
I am very pleased with this book. It answers all the necessary questions I have about C# and the .NET framework.
From OOP issues, to integrating C# with VB6 and visa-versa, plus a whole lot more.
It also builds on your learning by having great example games to develop as you build on your knowledge and work through the book.
I recommend it to any VB6 programmers wanting to migrate to C#.NET.
I am even more impressed because after contacting Wrox support and ... Read More
Rating: - Fun to code functional games early on
An adequate introductory on C# for Visual Basic Programmers who are new to C# and the .NET framework, it is organized around several practical applications. The book frequently comparies features between VB6 and C# which make the transition easier.
Started with a brief introduction of the .NET framework, C# language features and Visual Studio NET common tools, the book leads you directly into building a Windows applications - the SuperMind and the SweepCSharp games. It's fun to be able to ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent introduction to C# and .NET
This book provides an excellent introduction to C# and .NET for Visual Basic 6 developers. Having programmed in VC++ rather than VB for the past few years, I still rate the book highly for anyone interested in getting a grounding in .NET...
Chapter 14 provides a fitting conclusion to the book by showing us how to deploy our applications. You may be able to deploy your application with a simple XCOPY, but Visual Studio.NET provides powerful tools to create a Setup program. The authors provide ... Read More
