Summary: C# Primer Plus
Comment: As the title suggests, this book focuses almost entirely on the C# language stopping only briefly to explain key elements of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and by extension the Common Type System (CTS).
Where this book differs from many of the other titles out there is that it doesn't attempt to walk the reader through the .NET Framework at the same time. At the moment there are a number of books on the market that proclaim to teach C# but use it only as a tool to explore the framework.
The target audience for C# Primer Plus is hard to classify; the book provides depth coverage of the C# language constructs and important parts of the CLR, yet this detail is punctuated by practical examples and discussion which should have the programming novice up to speed in no time.
Much of the first two chapters are devoted to explaining introductory programming subjects such as Object-Orientated Programming, the value of design in the development process and conventional computing models. In my opinion, this is still valuable to even the most senior programmer as sometimes we forget the fundamentals of our trade.
What really makes this book stand out is the widespread and strategic use of diagrams to provide visual context. Further, the book provides ample practical examples for all the material it covers. Klaus has an exceptional writing style which sadly only a few percent of the authors out there possess.
In many ways this book reminds me of some of the older C++ books which focused key programming concepts and the core of the language and left discussion of the various libraries for the reference materials.
It would be a real shame to see senior programmers overlook this title because of some of its novice material. It heartily recommend it as usable language reference for the experienced programmer and an educational tool for those just starting out.
C# Primer Plus has earned a place on my bookshelf and I recommend it to those who want a quality language reference with good supporting material. Because of its introductory material it is also ideal as a educational tool.

Summary: Excellent Book on C#
Comment: This is an excellent book that takes the reader from inception of programming with C# to the advanced level. The explanations are crystal clear and by the virtue of the fact that the writer does not focus on Windows Form, it does not distract the student learning the fundamentals of the langauge.
I have compared this to the title "beginning C#" by Wrox. Do not bother getting the title beginning C# by Wrox as the flow of the book is not consistent and there are a number of areas where the author does not express him self clearly and fails to convey the message effectively.
I have worked through all the chapters of this great title and I can assure you that when you complete the book and work through all the exercises, you will be able to code effectively using C#. Your second book after this title must be one specialised on windows forms and the .NET framework probably the new titles from MSPress - Programming Windows(r) with C# (Core Reference) by Petzold (currently reading it) and Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming by Jeffery Richter.
I have given it four stars because a)There are a number of typos which have been corrected by an errata available at the publishers site. b)There are certain aspects of coding the author has not taken into account such as multi-threading etc.
Overall a well thought, cut and presented book on C#"
