Great Book, An easier way of learning C# and Window Forms
I recommend this book, "Windows Forms Programming with C#" explains how to practically program in .Net environment in detail. As a Window programmer (VB and VC/C++), this book helps me to program and understand the .NET platform in an easy way.I like the well-planned layout of the book; it is one of the most reader friendly books I have even seen. This book helps you to learn a lot of important concepts in a very natural way. On each topic discussed, the related class tables are right there for you, and the operation tables guide you step by step the actions you need to take to accomplish the project it explains clearly and shows you the result in each action you take side by side. Inside the book appendix you also find a list of useful websites for related/further study. This is a great book for learning C# and Windows Forms, it is easy to read and easy to understand.

Not A Reference - This Is a Must Have Learning Book
Brown has put a lot of thought into covering the mass of practical bases in Windows .NET Forms development. The concept of developing one application through the course of the book to show clearly and in context how each piece fits and works, while not new, is done superbly in this book. I learned much, much more from this book about not only Windows Forms but about C# programming in general than from several other dedicated C# books I have. His approach to showing the code and code changes and explaining them in step-by-step and in side-by-side panels is outstanding tutorial style.I just had to work through this book cover-to-cover and I NEVER do that with these books - I usually just look up what I think I need to know. Brown's leading me by the nose worked; I learned a lot more (as a current C++ and Java programmer) about C# than I might have otherwise. If you're looking for a reference book, this is not it; context is too important to the understanding of the parts. It is, I think, deliberately a clear learning book and, as I say in the title of this review, a Must Have learning book for Windows .NET Forms. So what's your next topic, Eric?

Wonderful and Refreshing
I must admit that I agree with the other reviewers, because I was VERY impressed with this book, considering some of the junk that's being published these days. It's organization was well thought out; the explanations and layout of the code examples was very easy to follow, though the content was not for the C# or programming novice (thankfully); and even the print type was easy on the eyes. It's refreshing to find a book that's truly well worth the money. It's a great book that I consider one of the best in my library.
