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.

This was a great book.

I think I wrote about 5-6 applications from this book, and learned a lot along the way.

I always enjoy writing code alongside the book, so this book was excellent for that.

I also updated a few of my existing applications with new knowledge from this book.

I will continue to work on my skills by programming fun projects.

Would recommend.

Microsoft Visual C# is a relatively recent programming book focusing on the C# programming language. I don't know much about the C programming language. Most of my programming experience is with Python and Javascript.

I don't program for a living. I do it for fun. The books I require have to be simple and spell things out. The book talks you through programming a card game and other projects. It expects you to have some programming experience, but the book does have an introductory section.

Sadly, I couldn't get into the book in time. I took it out of the library, and I didn't want to rush through the book. What I did read of it was great.

Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.

It’s an amazing book which guide the reader through the fundamentals of C#, .NET and other technologies. There are some holes in the topics but the book is already about 800 pages and could grow over 1000 easily.
I loved the full guide for every code with long explanations.
I’m sad because Microsoft discontinued this series.
