Not bad, could be clearer on the trickier points
Overall this book is decent, if you have programming experience. I wish it would contrast C# to other languages; no reason to have to read thru a whole explanation, if he would just say, "this feature works just like Java...".The biggest flaw is that for some of the stranger concepts, he doesn't really build up a sufficient explanation. I am a very experienced OO Architect and Java coder, yet I found his explanations of such subjects as "a Polymorphic Query Language" incomplete. With few exceptions however the book is well written, had minimal typos, and was acceptable

C# Objects
Stanley Lippman's eloquent, small book, is a superb meditation on the design and building of object-oriented software with C#. As he maps out the different possibilities and examines different scenarios, he gives firm reasons for why you would make the different choices available to you with this C# tool. This is a lucid text. You know this guy really knows the object-oriented subject he's writing about. His words tell you that he has built these kinds of systems before, that he has thought, considered, explored and tested the implications of the various design choices that C# makes possible. This book might be late to the party, but the best parts of this book, the chapters on class design, object-oriented programming, and interface inheritance, are worth the wait. This enlightening little book takes the C# canon places it's never been before -- and quite simply are unmatched anywhere else. I would advise you to read this book slowly, you can really learn something from Stanley Lippman's C# Primer.

Good C# introduction for experienced programmers
Lippman's C# Primer assumes that the reader knows C++ or Java. It does not cover basic language constructs so it is not a good choice as a first C# book for people that have not programmed before. The first four chapters include many good insights into the C# language from a professional programmer's point of view. These are hard to find in other texts and make this book worthwhile. A future edition should concentrate on including more language insights and less on WinForms or ASP.NET specifics that are covered better on other texts. Probably some basics should be included to expand its appeal to new programmers....
