Good starting point
I just finished reading this book and I think it is a good starting point for learning the language. Some of the other reviews say "it didn't cover this" and "it didn't cover that", but I think the book accomplishes the task. It teaches a beginner the basics of the language. It's not going to teach everything about programming in C#, it just starts you on the path. I thought it was very readable and the author explains concepts very well. This book was so interesting that I want to learn more about the language. The next book I read will definitely be "Programming C#" by the same author. If you are a seasoned programmer and want to learn advanced topics, this is not the book for you. If you are new to programming and want a good start, I highly recommend this book.

Excellent starting point to learn C#
This book is a gentle introduction to C#, the .NET platform, and object-oriented programming. But by gentle, I do not mean weak. There is a wealth of basic foundational instruction in not only the "what", but also the "why's" of the language.

One of the problems I have always had with programming books is that the authors are great technical people, but not-so-great communicators. This book is a refreshing exception to that rule.
Instead of assuming a certain level of knowledge, the author is patiently detail-oriented towards giving you a full understanding of the code you are writing, not just slapping together a bunch of esoteric functions and variables.

If want a clear understanding of both "what" you are doing and "why" you are doing it in C#, this book is for you!

clear but wordy = for programming novices
Focuses on basic language syntax in a very slow, very wordy way. Those fairly new to programming will appreciate this, such as the guy in accounting who has written some Office macros, the web designer who writes simple javascript blocks, or the QA tester who aims to become a QA engineer or developer. The back cover description is misleading because it mentions being for "experienced programmers who are new to object-oriented programming," whatever that means. Any truly experienced programmer, coming from VB6 or C or Fortran etc, will be skimming and skipping A LOT to get over the many paragraphs of hand-holding.

I can only see this book being really valuable for novices, and those "experienced programmers" who have only been doing scripting in the past. Note that there are *much* better books for going from VB6 to C#.

And despite the subtitle, there is very little coverage of object-oriented programming in this book. The basics are scratched for about 4 pages of chapter 3 -- but this is of little value, especially since classes are not introduced until chapter 8.
