Rating: - Perfect for beginners!
A lot of people are interested in C# now thanks to XNA Games Studio Express and a lot of us have never programmed before. I sat at the book store and read the first few chapters of every C# book I could find and this one is by far the best for beginners like me. I'm through chapter 4 now and realize that if you're looking for a starting point with C#, this is it! It's clear, simple and seemingly written for idiots like me. :)
Rating: - Great programming book but ...
The book is very easy to follow. The first chapters are really
for beginners. But I regret that the classes methods are explained with
trigonomety examples not that easy to follow even if the explanations
are there. Also it will have been a better idea to explain objects , classes first then later try to explain a class method class. The book is nice but most of the examples use by the author are maths examples and trigonometry, the last think i was expecting is a trigonometry example ... Read More

Petzold's 'Programming in the Key of C#' is absolutely for beginner programmers and is written with them in mind both in terms of style and content...sort of.
Late to the C# party, I decided to learn the language prior to a couple of new job interviews. I saw this and grabbed it, thinking it would be just what I'd need. Already knowing Java, C/C++, JavaScript and a bit a Visual Basic, I'm a bit disappointed that the subtitle isn't more specifically addressed to beginning programmers. Programming ... Read More

Programming in the key of C# aims to introduce the programming language, C#, at a basic level. It covers fundamentals of modern objective programming features such as namespaces, classes and instances. It also reassures readers of what basic data types are supported in C# which follows the footsteps of .NET Framework.
The book is more of a primer than specific (i.e., a book could be based on data structures or producing games). If you are looking to buy a book, and you are an elementary programmer you ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect starting place for VB'ers
Charles Petzold, a veteran of technical book writing, proves himself in this book (again) to be a brilliant teacher. At around 420 pages it's slim in comparison to other Microsoft text books. Part of the reason is that, concentrating solely on the C# language, no screen shots take up space that is more effectively used to explain key concepts of this language & how it fits into OOP. If you're a VB programmer, (as I was) looking to get into C#, this is a great starting point. It does begin at the beginning, (Variable ... Read More
