Title: C# for Dummies (With CD-ROM) by Stephen Randy Davis ISBN: 0-7645-0814-8 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 15 December, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Gem, in simple terms.
Comment: I revisited this book after about a year, and took the time to really read the first 100 pages. In particular, the author's introduction to OOP via C# classes as data structures first, and as more complex objects containing data and methods second, helped me really understand this concept --- maybe for the first time.
His example programs are very clever and deceptively simple at first glance. I think the most valuable aspect to his perspective is he obviously has a talent for teaching the "old school" imperative coders, that need hand holding with the new object paradigm. (Like me)
I really liked Randy's other book on C++, although the "C++ for Dummies" moniker is a riot.
There aren't any dummies doing C++, of that you can rest assured!

Comment: I bought "C# for Dummies" for myself and "C# and Game Programming" for my son.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good book for VB programmers
Comment: Although the "Dummies" title implies a "Beginner" book, this book falls into the "Beginner to Intermediate Developer" range. This is a good book for Visual Basic developers who want to make the conversion to C# or for the beginner. Like all Dummies series, there are ample examples and the author does a great job of explaining the C# language. Windows forms are covered in Chapter 17 and 18 but there is no discussion about Web development or using C# with Active Server Pages (ASP).
Starting in Chapter 6 (Collecting Data - The Class and the Array) there are several really annoying errors, for example, on page 105 the author uses "for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++)" to iterate thru a 10 element array. In the section below this (Array bounds checking), the author uses exactly the same code and says this will fail. The first code should be "for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)". These errors are scattered through out the book. Still this is a good book and I would highly recommend it.
