C How to Program
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3.33/5 from 36 reviews Excellent book!Another great book from the Deitel teamSuperb. This book shows how it should be done. It covers just about everthing you need to know about C# - web services, XML, database access - it's all here in one book. The many examples illustrate the concepts very well, and I particularly like the useful tips, 'common programming errors' and 'good programming practice' advice. Surprisingly, the material is also accessible to people new to programming. There's sufficient introductory material (which experienced programmers can skip over) to allow program novices to start programming with C# - no need to start with Basic in a DOS window! I have a few other books on C#, but this is easily the best. Excellen Book for the Serious ProfessionalThere is nothing superficial about C# - How to Program. This book is a rigorous and thorough treatment of the C# language from ground zero to proficiency, should you decide to read the entire 1250 pages, and program the practice exercises. This book is very well written, and could easily be used for a college-level course in computer science. As a self-study guide, you cannot help but to learn the C# language, as well as adopt good programming and software engineering techniques. The presentation of each software snippet follows a rigorous software engineering discipline that build good technique that can only help you in a code walkthrough and in debugging your own software. If you stick with the book, and use C#.Net (for an additional $100 - street price) you can learn the basics of C# and probably do 98% of the things you would need to do with the language. If you read the other reviews, you can see that they run hot and cold. It seems to me that the reviews with the most stars are from people who want a thorough knowledge of C#, and the ones with fewer stars are from people who have treated the book superficially, or wanted a "quick fix" to the difficult issue of learning a programming language. If you want to KNOW C#, buy this book and STUDY it. If you want to just be familiar with C#, try something else. I found this book is very well written, and I highly recommend it! It is better than the books I have seen from MS Press, and others. | ||||||||||||||||||||
This book is packed with solid information on the C# language and the .Net framework, but the Author's writing style is so easy-going, it wasn't difficult for my brain to absorb.
The Author explains all aspects of the C# language clearly and precisely, and give lots of good real world examples that can be used for future reference. Once you finish this book, you will have a solid foundation for your .Net future!!.
