Informative, but I just can't get past all of the errors.
I bought this book to help update my VB/ASP skills to their .NET counterparts. It is layed out in a very smooth and informative manner that walks you through difficult topics with relative ease. My biggest issue is not with the authors portrayal of the subject matter as the obvious lack of editting in the code samples and the companion website. In the first 6 code blocks, 3 of them contain errors that prevent the blocks from compiling. An experienced programmer can debug these issues fairly simply, but a novice programmer would likely become very frustrated. My second issue is with the companion website. The book relegates many topics to it's website (http://www.codenotes.com/). While this serves to keep the book concise and on-topic, many of the topics are either mislabeled or missing from the website entirely. This was the source of much frustration. My final complaint is with the MS ebook format of this book. It cannot be used in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services connection. You are also prevented from copy/pasting the code blocks, this means each example must be typed out manually even though the electronic format is right in front of you. That is painful at times. All said, on the merits of the authors ability to walk the reader through the subject matter, I'd recommend this book.

Very good book
This book was reccomended to me by my Senior colleagues and I felt very thankful to them when I started reading this book. It is really a good book if you want to start C#. Very good reading and the authour presents his ideas very straight forward.I like the extra pointers that you can explore it in their website if you are interested more about some particular areas. After a long time I really enjoyed reading this technical book. My thanks to the authour and the publisher in bringing out such a good book in a very low price. Regards
