    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Introduction to C#
    Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2014

    I have been trying to learn this language since 2010. Oh I managed to learn some code. Write some programs. Muddle my way through. But Herbert Schildt must be a born teacher because stuff I never really understood (and hence ignored whenever possible) he explained in a paragraph or 2. OK, sometimes it took a couple of pages. But after reading and doing the examples on my own computer, I actually understood why I had to type in the code I typed in. It actually made sense and I have tried this before with at least a dozen different books and authors.
    Don't waste your time with these other guys. And you will waste it. Schildt put things in the right order. He doesn't get ahead of the learning curve. He brings the stuff you need when you need it and are ready for it.
    Learning a new programming language is no simple thing because everything you learn depends on something you needed to already know. It's your basis vicious circle. Mr. Schildt recognizes this fact and give you little tidbits at first so you can write code and feel good about yourself, but after you have gotten a handle on the basics he returns and shows you the really cool stuff.
    Oh one other thing. He keeps it to the actual language (well with .NET of course) but no Window Forms, no Presentation Manager. These look cool but the actual code is what WE write. We determine the logic and the conclusion. We control the horizontal. We control the vertical. We can soften the picture to a soft blur or sharpen it. . . (Sorry wrong review.)
    The other stuff is really eye candy. It's for the people out their who don't want or nedd to do anything besides point and click. Which if cool because these are the guys who are going to pay for all our hard work figuring out the actual logic.
    Seriously buy this book. I'd really like to Herbert Schildt writing. There is so much more to learn and I'd really like to learn it from him. Thanks, Herb. Fantastic book.

    O livro é excelente para novatos na linguagem C# ou em programação.
    Após terminar de ler, será necessária uma atualização, pois esta edição é antiga, e há novos comandos e conceitos na linguagem e no .NET.

    After taking my first programming class, I was informed that the purchase of this book was optional. As I am one who likes to read and then try what is in the book, I was still glad that I bought it. Its useful in that there are examples for you to complete in Visual Studio as you read along. Its not the easiest book to digest, but hey its a book about programming. Worth the investment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners
    Reviewed in the United States on 10 April 2010

    This is a great book if you are just starting to learn about C#, or you want to use it for reference material. Each chapter builds on what was learned in the previous chapter, helping to reinforce skills just learned. Seasoned programmers probably will not get much use from this book unless you are feeling nostalgic about basic C# and OOP constructs. The authors writing style was also very easy to read, making the book a cover to cover read through unlike cookbook types of books.
