In Starting Out With Visual C# 2010, Gaddis makes a very detailed and evenly-paced presentation of both programming and C# syntax concepts so all readers will be able to follow along. His GUI-based approach to teaching C# will resonate with students in CS, IT, and CIS courses.
Tony Gaddis’s accessible, step-by-step presentation helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the Visual C# programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”?but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. His approach is both gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs.
I have read the first half of this book for a class I just finished. I will pick up the rest of the book next class. The book is very detailed and at times overwhelming. I had to slow down and review details. If you have a little experience programming, it will be a great book. I was able to learn C# on my own from this book and it has everything you need to teach yourself C#.
Not the best. Had to do a lot of web surfing to fill in the gaps. Many errors. Luckily, I'm already a programmer and so I could figure out out. oh, and by the way, I read the 2012 version. I couldn't find the current version in Goodreads.
