The book teaches you how to program in the C# language by making simple games while progressing to more advanced ones. It starts you from the beginning of starting a project until the end. This is how learning to program should be...not dull and boring, but fun and interesting. I think more learning books should be this way. Certain areas may seem brainless for more experienced programmers, but this book is perfect for beginners or others converting from other languages.

Each chapter is structured wonderfully, starting from the simple basics of C# and exploring the functionality of it. It will start with simple console programming, then progessing to classes and OOP programming and moving on into building forms all based on the theme of game design. It even goes on to letting you do graphic animations, XML, and ADO.NET. Keep in mind that this is NOT A REFERENCE FILLED BOOK and it will only give you the basics of the C# language - basically to get your feet wet enough to understand the language.

Also, as of this writing, there are not too many C# game programming books out there. However, if you're looking for a C# game programming book, this book is also fair enough to get you started on simple games.
