I've been programming in C# for a few months now, and all the manuals I had were either 6-7 years old, or way too focused on ASP.NET. What I really wanted was a beginning-to-end explanation of the syntax of the language, and I definitely got that with this book.


I was very pleased with all the code samples, though the editor needs a slight slap on the wrists. There were quite a few examples with misspellings (clock instead of Clock, just off the top of my head) that would make replicating the examples a little painful to the reader. Not a huge deal, but for a more inexperienced programmer it could be.


Overall, it was an excellent foray into the world of C# for me, since I consider myself a newbie to C#. Thanks O'Reilly!
