nothing good to say
Wow!!! This book is really badly written. I was impressed by their ASP book as an introductory crash course and it worked because ASP is easy anyway. But C# and object oriented programming seem to be beyond the authors' understanding. Everything is referred to as a box. I have 6 years of OO programming and even I found it difficult to read and understand. It is Repetitive. Based on old beta .NET. Not organized. Topics mixed all over the place. Confusing. Repetitive. Some sentences just stop halfway through. The real world objects they compare to are a joke. The same facts are mentioned over and over again in the same confusing way. Jargon is used and facts are thrown in at random but with no explanations. I wish I had read other people's comments before I bought it. Did I mention it is repetitive?

OK C# learning book
This book is based on the Beta release of C# and is is full of typos, errors, and misprints. The screen shots at the bottom of each page have been reduced to the point where they are hard to read. Since C# is a new programming language, it appears that the authors did not know C# as well as they should have or the publisher was in a hurry to get this book to market. When Visual Studio.Net was in the beta, a lot of companies tried to saturate the market with C#, Visual Basic, ASP, and ADO books. This book is not up to par with the usual Maran Graphics high quality. Your dollars would be be wisely spent elsewhere. I would recommend Robert Oberg's "Introduction to C# using .Net" instead. Hopefully the authors and publisher of this book are working on a "Second edition" to correct the issues. The idea of "virtual blueprint" is good but this book needs to be editted and the bugs removed.

Poor use of iIlustrations with examples
I am almost to the end of the book
I liked the blueprint for c++.net but this copy for
c# had alot of illustrations on finding information
on msdn and led the reader away from the purpose of the
book
The examples were not really numbered according to the
chapters. There was a very bad coverage on the forms
in the book with bad and non working examples. Poor use of illustrations for 'set and get
features with no working examples'.
There was alot of errors in 30% of the examples.
I am down to the last 4 chapters and have yet to be
impressed as a beginner of C#.
I have already covered the wrox beginner c# so I was
expecting material of the same calibre but instead
this had turned to be a waste of time
for the 10/15 chapters of the book
