I received this book, Programming C#, as a gift from a Microsoft Event, and I must say that the reading literature is excellent. This book is great for those who have programmed in C++ and/or Java. I was a bit mystified by the whole .NET platform "revolution" before I started reading. Although I have yet to finish reading it all, the book definitely has piqued my interest in learning more on Windows and web development (e.g. using ASP.NET). I look forward to reading other similar books by Jesse Liberty and O'Reilly.
