* Written by Peter Wright, who taught 100,000 new programmers how to program in Visual Basic when Microsoft last launched a new product so suitable for new/hobbyist and aspirant programmers. The same Peter Wright style today makes this book the best Express tutorial available. * Covers all the key features of Express C# in a friendly, accessible style, and opens up a whole range of exciting continuation products in the Apress roadmaps for when the new programmers wants to continue their journey. * C# is the language of the future and a lot of aspirant programmers are going to choose C# as their entry-point into programming. This book serves that new community of programmers and presents a first-class author to guide them.
The book provides a nice overview of Visual C# aimed at beginners. The part that I disliked the most about the book is that it is very Windows Forms oriented. I was more interested in the Visual C# language and particularly its usage in database and web applications. However, it was very well written and would be great for a beginner who is learning how to make Windows Desktop Applications in C#.
