Beginning C# Object-Oriented Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) 2nd ed. Edition

As a seasoned programmer in other languages with decades of experience, this book was an excellent choice in transitioning to C#. It filled in the gaps in OOP theory, C# syntax, and C# programming styles with practical examples and exercises to re-enforce concepts. If your transitioning to C# from another language - even VBA, consider this book as a must have in your programming library.

A very good clear concise book on the subject. I would definitely recommend it.

Just finished this book. As an experienced object-oriented programmer in another language, I was looking for something that would get me jump started in C#. I found this book to be a rather short on actual C# syntax exploration and explanation. It began with UML modeling, a lot of theory, and eventually a grand exercise in XAML.Albeit, about half way through the book, I was able to figure out the syntax pieces I was looking for but it just seemed to be a bit outside the realm of what other "Beginning" books I have read were. Nonetheless, it was well written and would suffice as a good starter book for someone looking to get started in C# rather quickly without needing or wanting to know the "why" in addition to the "how."In all fairness, I did take away several bits of useful material from this book.

Excellent book! It's full of very useful and practical information.

(I have many years of C# experience and skimmed this book to see if it would be good for someone new in my team, and as a refresher.)This book gives an ok introduction to C#, but it is somewhat shallow and leaves a lot of stuff unsaid. I would have cut down on some of the excercises and filled up with more details, but that is my preference.

Yep.

Good book.
