I am surprised to see the few people here that are raving about this book. This is not my first programming class, but this is one of the worst textbook we have had to use. I don’t just base this on my experience but it has actually been a topic of conversation within our discussion boards. The college is using this book as our textbook for an online class. The problem with the book is the author appears to talk in circles. I would prefer a more direct approach of this is and that is and this is why this does that, period, then some examples. But the author goes on, starts to cover information then says it will be in a chapter in the future? I also have the power point presentations that are a real hit and miss with the data. Not all the data in logically covered in the presentations from the book, I have found large portions completely not included in the presentations.
Personally I have ordered another book to help enlighten me from the circles this author has left me in. I have found better explanations at Microsoft direct than this book.

I used this book for a class I took and it is exceptional. Outstanding organization and quite deep in explanations. I found the examples and exercises to be especially useful.

I obtained this book via a programming class I am taking. It is easy to follow and very informative. This is based upon the little bit of programming experiece I have done over the past few years and reading multiple programming books that I own. It is worth the read. If the price is too much you can ask your local library to purchase a copy.

This is a good book for C# class. Apparently the publisher includes Powerpoint slides for the teacher to use, make sure you ask your teacher for them, as it really helps in understanding Object Oriented Programming as well as C#. Make sure you get the free Visual Studio from Microsoft that the book suggests in Chapter one because they use it for examples, and even teach a little of it while teaching C# (debugging, intellisense, etc).
