Rating: Like other Head First books this one really is a charm. Chapter 1 starts with the full power of C# and Visual Studio, it grabs your attention and just won't let go. After this initial chapter it's going into the depths of this language, every aspect of modern software engineering is learned through learnable and cognitive chapters, tasks and exercises. Chapter 2 introduces the Visual Studio IDE including project/file structures, it decomposes sourcefiles and explains whats happening "under the hood". The language is introduced, step by step; variables, loops, namespaces, statements. From that chapter on things like full OOP, behaviour, events, LINQ, delegates etc. etc. are introduced. Things I mostly learned with this book are LINQ, delegates, buffering/doublebuffering. I would like to invite every C# programmer to buy this book, novice or advanced, it's a real supplement to your collection. All steps towards great software are mentioned.
