Fundamentals of Computer Programming with C#
The free book "Fundamentals of Computer Programming with C#" (http://www.introprogramming.info) is a comprehensive computer programming tutorial that teaches programming, logical thinking, data structures and algorithms, problem solving and high quality code with lots of examples in C#. It comes with free video lessons, presentations, exercises and solutions.
This free programming tutorial starts with the first steps in programming and software development like variables, data types, conditional statements, loops and arrays and continues with other basic topics like methods, numeral systems, strings and string processing, exceptions, classes and objects.
After the basics this free fundamental programming book enters into more advanced programming topics like recursion, data structures (lists, trees, hash-tables and graphs), high-quality code, unit testing and refactoring, object-oriented principles (inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation and polymorphism) and their implementation in the C# language. It also covers fundamental topics that each good developer should know like algorithm design, complexity of algorithms and problem solving.
This free programming book uses C# language and Visual Studio to illustrate the programming concepts and explains some C# / .NET specific technologies like lambda expressions, extension methods and LINQ. This free programming C# book is written by a team of developers lead by Svetlin Nakov (http://www.nakov.com) who has 20+ years practical software development experience and 10+ years as software development trainer.
This free book on fundamentals of programming teaches the major programming concepts and way of thinking needed to become a good software engineer and the C# language in the meantime. It is a great start for anyone who wants to become a skillful software engineer. The books does not teach technologies like databases, mobile and web development, but shows the true way to master the basics of programming regardless of the languages, technologies and tools. It is good for beginners and intermediate developers who want to put a solid base for a successful career in the software engineering industry. The book is accompanied by 27 free video lessons on C# programming (42 hours), presentation slides (27 PPTX presentations) and mind maps, as well as hundreds of exercises with solutions and live examples.

Impressive
I was skeptical at first because of the cost. The author starts right off with the comparisons of languages and why NOT to use C++ or PHP which was inline with my philosophy of why C# is important. I also love teaching books with exercises and this book is full of them. Don't let the apology of English translation defer you either because there's no translation confusion anywhere that I found ... and I'm from America. Highly recommending this book for beginners and intermediate programmers who want to take their coding up to professional level. Warning.. be prepared to study and practice.

Excellent C# beginners book. It isn't a typical reference book but it makes you think like a real programmer. Loads of coding examples and exercises, advices and best practises. I couldn't think of a better beginners book. A+

Absolutely the best !

The book encompasses the topics needed to start practical with programming. The approach with topics and assignments is the best for teaching a person how to program, Loads of coding examples and exercises, advices and best practices.
I read this book in a Structure Programming course at the university.

That is the best book for understanding C#. Please, don't get prejudiced to book that looks like informal cover page. This book can be a main book of CS classes at Universities. When, I was reading -try to learn C#- this book, I found myself at ancient Eygpt try to understand sexagesimal number to calculate River Nile floats or at Today's world, try to implement algorithm on number series. This is excellent book.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY!
