Customer Reviews

C# by exmaple
This is a great book; I use it as a reference when I have forgotten something. The book is extremely well formed, where there is code there is a description and all the code is group into sections.

The book covers most of the content of the MCP (C#.Net 1.1) exam, even includes a study section to pass the exam at the end.

I found this book to be a great read, as the examples where small to demonstrate a concept. It is refereeing to have a book that points things out and tells you what you need to know.

Even though this is mainly C# 1.1 (with some C# 2.0 previewed, no generics) I still use it and recommend it to anyone, (just bear in mind that C# 3.0 is around the corner). I really hope that the author will release an updated edition.
