Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 2 reviews. Excellent learning tool, 2009-02-03 Reviewer rating: I own a number of C# 2008 books, and this is the best of the lot. The language is introduced in a very logical manner, each chapter building on the previous, which you would think would be the norm, but isn't always. The code examples always work, again as you would expect but doesn't always happen, with the exception of two minor formatting glitches: code examples for console code need a 'Console.Readline();' statement to prevent the program(s) from terminating too fast to read, and the display format shown does not always agree with that you'll find on the screen. The first is serious if you're not already familiar enough with C# to know to add the code, and the second is minor.
I can highly recommend this book as a learning tool without equivocation as the book flows from topic to topic better than any other C# book I've read. It really is that good.
Additionally the book does a very good job of introducing the subject of "How do I take my idea for what I want to do and turn it into code?" through the use of UML diagrams and very well-detailed examples and explanations of their ATM project.
The book may not be for experienced C# programmers - it starts quite fundamental - but would be a good book for anyone wanting to learn C# who already has some programming experience in another language.
What I really liked in this book: First, every code example is followed by a detailed line-by-line explanation of what the code does and how it works, done much better than any other code book I've ever read. Even if you have some experience in C# you'll learn something you didn't know or knew and didn't understand in context, every time. Second, every other C# book I have seems to start out simple, then slams you with at least one chapter of "C# vocabulary" that you'll have to memorize before you can understand the rest of that chapter or the rest of the book. In this book you'll learn the same vocabulary, but it's introduced within the context of the code in the examples. One other nice touch: the example code comments include "end method xxxx", "end If", "end class" etc following each related structure. Sure, if you already know C# this is fluff and unnecessary. But if you're new to C# these reminders teach and reinforce the structure names without beating you over the head; you'll learn the names and uses as you need them and as you develop the ability to use them effectively, not as a memorization precursor before learning how to program them. It may seem a subtle difference, but it's very effective, imho.
I'm looking forward to reading the other books they've written. Their method of teaching is superior to any other programming language books I've read on any language. They have a winning formula in their format here.
| Good book by Deitel, 2008-10-14 Reviewer rating: Another good text on C#. "Hands-on" exercises are very useful in learning the language. It is not as good as the other C# book by the same author. |
