Product Description C# Primer Plus teaches the C# programming language and relevant parts of the .NET platform from the ground up, walking you through the basics of object-oriented programming, important programming techniques and problem solving while providing a thorough coverage of C#'s essential elements - such as classes, objects, data types, loops, branching statements, arrays, and namespaces. In early chapters guided tours take you sightseeing to the main attractions of C# and provide a fast learning-path that enables you to quickly write simple C# programs. Your initial programming skills are then gradually expanded, through the many examples, case studies, illustrations, review questions and programming exercises, to include powerful concepts - like inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces and exception handling, along with C#'s most innovative features - such as properties, indexers, delegates and events. With C# Primer Plus's dual emphasis on C# as well as fundamental programming techniques, this friendly tutorial will soon make you a proficient C# programmer building Windows applications on the .NET platform. | ||

Comprehensive and Well Written I used this book to learn C# a few years ago and I still pick it up from time to time. C# Primer Plus is an easy read that I reccomend to anyone else learning C#. | ||
Again not a C# for Beginner If you are a novice like and never programmed before this book is NOT for you. All the reviews claims it is a beginner book for novice programmer. This is totally untrue. The athor starts with an advanced example of elevator and expect you to understand all the nuances of it with a few explanations. Trust me if you are a novice try either absolute beginner C# or C# 2005 for dummies , those are real books for beginners in programming & C#. This book is for programmer trust me. The author write a simple program "hello" explain with 2 pages. Then he goes and pass with an advanced example of Object oriented with his elevator program. The program is FAR to be as simple as you think. And it is poorly explaned. From the reviews I am reading either those guys are liars when they claim to be novices or they are genius to be able to understand this book as first book. | ||
I think this book really deserves 5 stars!!! I specially entered amazon to write this review to gratitude the author of this book. I think guys, this is the best book over there, since I bought many other intro books on C# and had chance to compare. This book gives almost everything you need about core syntax of C#, explaining why particular technique became part of C# syntax (I think it is very important to really understand the language), and showing wise ways of using it. Examples are very excellent. The book is very comfortable to read, despite of its size, sentences are simple and craftly bring you to point, and you do not get tired until you understand (I think it is very important about programming books, since it takes much brain energy to read and understand them). I myself finished this book in about a month, having some experience in C++, and at the same time being busy with other things. I think (really, in my opinion) you will not regret if this will become your first C# book. | ||
Let U know what is C#... I thought it's a basement of C# programming , It also tells you lots of Class detail...I use it as reference and futher more programming... | ||
Very good practice problems If you are looking for practice problems to learn C#, this book is a must buy. The practice problems are well thought out and are useful to understand C#. Also, most of the elementary topics are covered. So this is a great first book to learn C#. On the downside, the author's writing style is wordy. Finally, the author does a poor job of explaining WHEN to use certain features of C#. The benefits of using one approach over another is not apparent to the beginners. For example, I wish the author had spent some time explaining when to use inheritenance and polymorphism, especially when one can write perfectly decent C# code without them. | ||
