Rating:  - Great
After two months with only a little experience with VB.NET and help from this book I am already becoming an advanced programmer. I highly recommend this book for beginners.
Rating: - It is "The Book"!
How do you rate a technical book? This is my first shot at it so bear with me!!
This is the Microsoft Visual C# book written by Mark Sharp.
So far everything in the book seems correct. The printing is readable and the pages have not disintegrated or fallen out of the book.
I bought this book from Amazon with no tax and free shipping. (That beats trying to find it locally.) The shipment arrived when it was supposed to arrive and what was delivered was what I ordered.
That is two thumbs up and 5*'s!!!

Rating:  - Easy Transition, Lacks Some Teachings
While making a user's transition from C++ and Java very convenient and easy, its most prevalent drawback is it's disregard for multidimensional arrays. This book must be used in conjunction with the included CD to understand the content, making its portability very limited. The software on the CD also must be installed and individual projects can't just be coppied from the CD.
The book teaches the material with frequent references to Java, C, and C++ equivalent topics to ease the reader's transition to a new language while not making the material confusing for the new programmer. It teaches through constant examples and allows the reader to work from pre-made projectsthat are missing required code or view the completed projects for referencing. The book goes from the ground up with the C# language, discussing advantages to topics like structs versus classes and indexers. The book also goes beyond the main programming topics to discuss creating web applications and managing data with sql server. Although not the most in depth text, this book is good for those quite familiar with other programming languages as well as those interested in learning the language very quickly and still feel well informed on how to create applications for Windows in Visual Studio 2005.
Rating: - Very good
Excellent to the beginner. Very clear and good samples. I suggest, J.Sharp must write the next level.
Rating: - good book
the author explains in easy to understand terminology, and provides examples of bad practice (or ways without the technique that he is to introduce) and then show the right approach.
