Graphical “mind maps” at the beginning of each chapter show what material is covered and how individual topics interrelate.

การวางโครงสร้างเนื้อหาใกล้เคียงกับหนังสือ "เก่ง C# ให้ครบสูตรฉบับ OOP ของผม" เนื้อหาไม่ได้เน้นเรื่อง .NET Framework หรือเรื่องราวอื่นๆ บน .NET แต่เจาะลึกไปที่โครงสร้างและวิธีการใช้งานภาษา C# เลย
ครึ่งเล่มหลังค่อนข้าง advance พูดถึงเรื่องเกี่ยวกับ Multithreading, LINQ, Reflection, Dynamic Programming, Interoperability, Event ซึ่งส่วนมากยังไม่จำเป็นสำหรับโปรแกรมเมอร์มือใหม่
สำหรับมือใหม่หากไม่อยากจิตตกอ่านแค่ครึ่งเล่มแรกพอ แล้วหัดเขียนโปรแกรมมากๆ เข้าไว้

A pretty good overview of stuff that is still valid in C#. However, last couple of chapters, especially those dedicated to asyncronous programming, are hopelessly outdated.

Cumbersome code examples and a tediously boring writing style makes C# as much fun as watching cement harden.
