About the author

Librarian Note: There are more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

John R. Sharp worked as a linguist and analyst for the U.S. Government for over 40 years, teaching and writing curricula for Modern Standard Arabic and several Arabic dialects. During his studies in Cairo, he became fascinated with Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, but was frustrated at not finding a good, searchable index of pharaohs' cartouches (name rings), so he decided to make one himself, a project that took several decades. He lives in Hawaii.

Reviews

[Mehrdad]

Being the first book I read to learn C# (I had learned it a little by hanging around stuff in Visual Studio and MSDN Library before reading this book), it was great! It's great for an absolute beginner to programming to someone who is experienced in programming but new to OOP or new to .NET or new to C#. It's not very useful for a professional C# guy. Actually it contains a bunch of mistakes and there are many important concepts not mentioned at all. By all means, it's a great book for anyone new to the language or the framework.
