Book Reviews of Microsoft® Visual C#® 2005 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft))
Book Review: A book for beginner
Summary: 3 Stars
This will be a good book for a beginner to programming itself, let alone C#.
An experienced programmer in any language will find this book fairly shallow. The book covers many basic topics including some programming basics but doesn't go into detail on any aspect or feature of C#.
Book Review: Clear and helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is well written. Lots of helpful hints to get started with C# and Visual Studio 2005.Book Review: Easy Transition, Lacks Some Teachings
Summary: 4 Stars
While making a user's transition from C++ and Java very convenient and easy, its most prevalent drawback is it's disregard for multidimensional arrays. This book must be used in conjunction with the included CD to understand the content, making its portability very limited. The software on the CD also must be installed and individual projects can't just be coppied from the CD.
The book teaches the material with frequent references to Java, C, and C++ equivalent topics to ease the reader's transition to a new language while not making the material confusing for the new programmer. It teaches through constant examples and allows the reader to work from pre-made projectsthat are missing required code or view the completed projects for referencing. The book goes from the ground up with the C# language, discussing advantages to topics like structs versus classes and indexers. The book also goes beyond the main programming topics to discuss creating web applications and managing data with sql server. Although not the most in depth text, this book is good for those quite familiar with other programming languages as well as those interested in learning the language very quickly and still feel well informed on how to create applications for Windows in Visual Studio 2005.
Book Review: Excellence book for beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
This book elaborate every step in details. You seldom find a book which explains in detail and yet for beginner. this is the reason i rate 5.
anyway, for those developers who have some experience in c# and wish to look for more advance topic. this is not the book for you.
Book Review: Excellent Book for all
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a C++ coder doing white box QA testing, after reading about C# thought it might prove useful in developing QA Tools for testing backend processes, got this book on a whim and it has proved to be very useful, well written, and very good examples, although I have a OOP background I found the chapters on OOP could be helpful for the beginner as well as us "know it alls," and would recommend this to my colleges and friends.
