I suspect by the title and the way most of the book is written that the book is for beginners. Why then do you throw “binary tree theory” into a chapter where the reader is trying to learn about Generics. The example is then continued on into the next chapter. It seems to me that example makes learning Generics needlessly hard by throwing a data structure into the mix that is itself difficult enough to understand.
Other than that, I have had no problems with the book.

Great book. Teaches from the basics to more advanced subjects. Teaches with examples and CD tutorials.

I’m using this book to teach myself C# from scratch. I have virtually no relevant programing experience so I’m really starting from square one. I found the book and the exercises very easy to follow and easy to understand. The included files are invaluable. I looked at a lot of other books first and am very glad that I started with this one. I also purchased Beginning Microsoft Visual C# 2008 (Wrox Beginning Guides)at the same time and I’m reading it a couple chapters behind the Microsoft book. Between the two of them I’ve learned alot.

I love programming, and this was a great book to have. I still use it to keep my programming skills up and up. The author has a great grasp of the material.

I’ve been through many books in programming. I have 4 books of Sam’s Teach Yourself in 21 days. And others by different publications. Quite expensive though. But this I have to say about C# Step by Step of John Sharp. I have found his book truly amazing. I am only half through the book yet I can attest that it is one of the finest books I have come to read.
The style is not boring like some comments you read hear. Programming books are not for entertainment. If you are looking for entertainment then you ought to buy a novel for yourself.
Every page if very informative and the sample programs in the separate CD seems like to cement the theories to your brain. They are easy to follow and that it also include completed codes of the sample programs just in case you have difficulty completing the projects. I also love the quick reference area after each chapter. They reinforces rather than just give a summary.
To those who are serious in studying C#, this is a straight forward book for you. You will easily digest all the ideas on every page. Even experienced C# programmers will make this a good reference while doing some coding.
John sharp, you are amazing. Thank you so much. I hope to read more of your books after this one.
