I read this book after first release in late 2001. This book clears all of my concepts. I want to refer this book for every person who wants to start programming in C#.

I gave up on this book at building web services. When errors occur because of an IIS dependency or something so far away from the code you are working on (IIS would not serve the web form but insisted on downloading it) there is no sidebar on what to expect or what to do. The help web site is filled with ads, making the whole experience even more unpleasant and aggrivating than it should be.

I have gone through the first 13 chapters of this book and have found many (more than twenty!) errors that are horribly obvious and suggests that this book wasn't properly proofread or revised. Problems from inconsistency to a StackOverflow error* in the FileCopier example in Ch 13. I am lucky that I know C++ and Java well enough to catch these mistakes. Other than that this book does introduce the C# language in an organized maner. I do recommend it for people that are comfortable with their programming skills, and for the rest I'd suggest getting the next edition of this book.

* The StackOverflow error comes from user checking one of the nodes in the left TreeView, which then called tvwSource_AfterCheck(...) as an AfterCheck behavior. tvwSource_AfterCheck then calles SetCheck(...) that then assigns a value to the checkBox again which triggers tvwSource_AfterCheck AGAIN and so on... How did this get missed? It could be due to me using the Beta of VS.NET, who knows.

Great book, some small errors but nothing to get excited about. What I like best is that it covers a lot of material in a nice concise text. Not like the huge WROX books out there that are a little too verbose ... Wrox people must all be VB programmers!

I noticed a lot of small errors. However anyone with 1/4 of a brain will be able to figure them out and follow along with the book easily.

This book is very well written. For the programmers out there, this book reminds me of Charles Petzolds Programming Windows 95 (which was one of the best books written for windows programming of its time).

I started in chapter 13, for I alraedy knew the syntax of the language from a prior book. But after chapter 13 it truely is an amazing book.

I enjoyed the examples. This is the best c# book on the market, a definite buy.
