It's a book worth to buy. The author explains clearly the concepts, the are many examples you can type in or code samples you can run. It is ideal for a beginner in C# even if it uses the Snapsengine framework. I think the author is using this framework teaching C# because of its sequential flavour lets him focus on language details. You'll encounter also the bubble sort algorithm, I've liked how the Rob Miles presented it. From beginning the book does not lack the humor. My favourite one is "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

This is trully a step-by-step guide to learn C#, it introduces you slowlly to the world of programming and its gives you details on every concept of C#. I am findig it extremely enjoyable to read with meaningfull examples and good layout. It is the best purchase so far for me.

Really great way for beginning coders to understand the basics of C# coding. Not the best at teaching you how to code elaborate projects, but this book is a great start for fundamentals. This book might not help you with advanced logic and problem solving in coding, but it will set you on the right track.
