Title: Programming C#, Third Edition by Jesse Liberty ISBN: 0-596-00489-3 Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates Pub. Date: June, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $44.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.14 (134 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent, Examples are First Rate
Comment: This book is not only thorough and well written, it includes example programs that illustrate the points discussed and that provide a basis for working with the language.
Liberty starts off with a complete coverage of the language, teaching you all you need to know to program well in C#. If you have any programming experience at all, this book is a fantastic primer.
The second section of the book explains how to write Windows and web applications and how to work with ADO and how to write web services. This is an amazing tutorial on the fundamentals of .NET
The third section is the gold standard on advanced .NET topics. Jesse teaches you how to work with threading, how to use attributes, how to accomplish remoting and much more.
The book is well written, very well put together and he supports the book on his web site where you can download all of the source code. Most impressive of all, he also has a support discussion center, where you can get your questions answered.
I recommend this book without reservation.

Summary: Well written and comprehensive
Comment: This is a well written general introduction to C# programming that goes well beyond the basics to also teach you about .NET programming, the frameworks, and provides a good overview of web and windows programming.
Jesse starts you out with the fundamentals, and provides comprehensive coverage of the language. Each idea is illustrated with an excellent example. He then provides an overview of windows programming, web programming and ADO and ends the book with excellent coverage of advanced topics. The advanced topics include threading, remoting, attributes and reflection and so forth.
I highly recommend this book to C++ and Java programmers, VB6 programmers and even to highly motivated novices. I've looked at a lot of books on .NET and this is the best language tutorial I've seen.
I was also very impressed with the depth of support Jesse provides on his web site. He has posted up to date source code, an errata with all reported errors in the book (there are very few) and he even runs his own support discussion center.
O'Reilly books are excellent, and this is an excellent O'Reilly book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very good book
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. I think its a great intro to C# and a generally good reference for it.
The only negatives are that some of the examples simply aren't real-world. That's a minor thing, and I wouldn't let it deter me from buying the next edition of the book.
I also wish there were more whole apps in the book. Writing everything to the console gets boring. Again, this isn't a big deal and doesn't detract from the overall usefulness of the book.
If you are a serious C# developer or want to become one, I think you should give this one a good read and keep it close at hand as a reference.
