Reader ReviewsI interrupted my online C# education to study and work with this book. It was well worth it, since it turned out to satisfyingly detailed, yet covered each function in a move-along fashion. The only negative is that some of the print was thinner/smaller font than it should be for my old eyes, but that enabled the above-mentioned detail. This is more than make up for by the colorful presentation, and clearly written text, and, most of all, the solid examples and exercises. I LEARNED A LOT! You can't go wrong with this book. After completing it, I went to the bookstore and reviewed other thicker books. Boy, was I happy I started with this. Ah, well, now back to my online tutorials from Microsoft.
