Not really an introduction
This is a strange book to write a review for. It's hard to understand what its mission was supposed to be. In the introduction the authors warn that the book does not deal with the basics of C# but more on "more complex and relevant issues relating to C#." I picked up this book by accident but enjoyed it a great deal. It provides an interesting insight into a number of issues in a way not covered by so many thick .NET books out there.

To sum it up, the book doesn't really teach you anything specific. If you have been already developing for .NET you'll find some interesting information inside. Personally, I enjoyed it for what it's worth.

I'm giving this book 4 stars because even though the information presented is concise and to the point, certain code samples could've been a LOT more helpful (such as an unnecessary sample on reference counting which---instead of dropping---the authors dragged around).

A well written primer on C# for a reasonable price!
This book introduced me to C# and I found it to be an excellent read. It is filled with lots of interesting and useful information. Coming from a Java and C++ background I was already familiar with OOP and this book goes over many differences between the above OO languages. This book will only wet your lips as it does not go into the details of actual programming windows applications, etc. (there are other books for that). However it gives you a rich background into the language itself, the differences between it and others, overcoming certain restrictions to the language, and porting code to C#. If you are interested in quickly learning the basics of the C# language and the .NET framework then this may be the book for you.

Quick Intro. to C# Language
Great intro to C#. It took only a couple days to read and yet it provided a insight into the language, the environment and the pitfalls one may encounter with C#. I recommend this if you want to gain a quick overview of C#.
