Being one of the first to buy this book no doubt, I've only got half way through the first tutorial, but it's such an easy read and so easy to understand I just had to start writing a review about it. None of your usual technical jargon here, but explanations and tutorials that are written in plain and clear English!

For someone starting out in programming (like me), this book has to be a must and well worth the investment (not that it will break the bank). Karl's style of writing is clear and humorous and makes the whole exercise of learning extremely fun. He almost makes a joke out of the whole thing. Within a few minutes of reading the first couple of pages of tutorial, I had a clear understanding of what this .NET framework was all about.

I'm off now to continue reading, it's quite addictive. If you ever read this review Karl, well done for writing a tutorial that my father would understand. I already feel as if I know you!

All budding programmers...go buy it, you won't be disappointed.
