Great book

I have been programming in VB and VBA for the last 5 years. Before that, it was C and C++. This book is all about the language of C#. It doesn't cover XML, Web Services, or anything to do with the internet. What it does do, is give you an excellent background on the language and syntax of C#. I now fully understand the differences between C++, C#, and even VB. I highly recomend this book to anyone who has C++ background. If you have a pure VB background it might take a while to get used to the looping and decision making syntax as isn't covered until later in the book, but it is still useable.

Great book for first-time C# programmers

I have been programming in C++. This book was a great way to move to C#. The lessons are concise and easy to follow. Each take 10 to 15 minutes. Great investment of time.

Well spent weekend

I had never used C# or the visual studio before. This book got me up and running with both. I know some C, no C++, so there was a lot to learn. Examples made it easy. Everythign compiled and ran. Took me just over a weekend to get through the book's lessons.

A quick transition to C#!

I'm a VB programmer who has not used C or C++. Wright makes it very easy to get up and running with C#. He doesn't assume you understand the ins and outs of C -- which was key for me!

Great C# book for getting started!

I just picked up a copy of this new book. The author did a nice job of pulling together a book useful for experienced programmers and for beginners. This book is very readable and does a great job with bringing you up to speed on the essentials needed for getting a grip on the new language and sets you up nicely for .net. Highly recommended!
