Not another book from the Deitels. Just when I thought I can sit back and relax after their assaults on C, C++, Java, VB etc., here comes another book from the Deitel stable.
Not much else to say about this book other than that it teaches you C# like nothing else can...
All C# topics are covered in a wonderfully accessible manner. Thoroughly well written. Impressive style. Great read.
Rating:  - Not bad, but ...
... the "Mastering Visual C# .NET" from Sybex is much better.
Rating: - Another great book from the Deitel team
Superb. This book shows how it should be done. It covers just about everthing you need to know about C# - web services, XML, database access - it's all here in one book.
The many examples illustrate the concepts very well, and I particularly like the useful tips, 'common programming errors' and 'good programming practice' advice.
Surprisingly, the material is also accessible to people new to programming. There's sufficient introductory material (which experienced programmers can skip over) to allow program novices to start programming with C# - no need to start with Basic in a DOS window!
I have a few other books on C#, but this is easily the best.
Rating: - We've got a winner !
As an experienced reader of various kinds of technical and software development books I must say that this book is the most useful, Productive, Valuable, Understandable among all other books I've read.
I can only hope that the writers of this book will continue writing in the same quality
Rating: - Excellent book, worth the price
I had been looking for a C# book which also took care of teaching to exploit all the benefits of the .Net framework. I had stumbled with some books that were too inclined to either the language itself or the .net framework, but this book keeps a good balance between these two topics.
I purchased Professional C# from Wrox, but I saw too many typos in the text and even worse in the code!, so I went ahead and returned it later. I decided to spend some time at the bookstore comparing books and after much deliberation this one won me. I think it was a little bit expensive but it was worth it since it includes clear explanations, visual representation of what the samples do and how they work and best of all, it covers may topics I was interested in like XML, SOAP, Web Services, ASP.NET, etc.
I even liked the two color schema (red and black) in which it is printed.
