5 of 5 stars  You should know what you are getting
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
I've read some of the reviews and I'm confused: why would you get a "learn blah blah blah in 24 hours" book and think you were going to learn C#? With '.Net' plainly written in the title, I knew exactly what I was going to get; a tutorial on learning Visual Studios .Net with C#. The book served it's purpose for me, now it's time to learn some in-depth C#. Definitely an excellent book for those who are familiar with OOP and want to learn what Visual Studios .Net has to offer.

1 of 5 stars  Confusing/missleading terminology
Tuesday, December 21, 2004
Too much tutorial for VS.NET, not enough on C#. If you know something about C++, then steer clear from this book. It uses confusing terminology in wrong context. For instance they inaccurately refer to an "object of 'type'" as "Object derived from class". Derivation in OOP has a very different meaning. Also they repeatedly call a class as a "template" for an object. There are more similar confusing wordings and terminologies. I understand they wanted to be illustrative but IMHO they fell over the fence and rather confuse the reader.

1 of 5 stars  Giant Read Me for Visual Studio
Wednesday, December 15, 2004
Oh My God...
This book is a giant read me for visual studio.
It is impossible to read this book when you are anywhere but on your computer because everything you do involves using Visual Studio which the author annoyingly calls "C#" hence the book title.
This book is of no value to people who want to learn ABOUT c# and is a waste of money.

Buy Programming in the Key of C# if you want a good book for beginners.

3 of 5 stars  Good for Beginners
Wednesday, January 28, 2004
This is a very good book if you have no previous C# experience. I decided to read this book after reading Sams Teach Yourself C# in 21 Days and I found that all the programming concepts were review. I did like this book's focus on the Visual Studio .NET IDE and Windows forms, though. It shows you some basics on using list views, tree views, etc. which Teach Yourself C# in 21 Days completely skips. If you're looking for some simple Windows form concepts or if you're looking to learn C# with no programming experience, this is a good book, but people with C# experience and some Windows forms experience can definitely skip it.

5 of 5 stars  A great introduction to C#.
Wednesday, November 06, 2002
I came to C# in 24 hours with a background in programming and management of the software development process. The book is easy to read, is well organized with helpful exercises for each hour (chapter). It contains essential information about the language that is missing from the core reference works. I will keep it on my bookshelf for ready reference.

I asked James Foxall a few questions via email and he answered them promptly and with excellent care.
