4 out of 5 stars Very good book for beginners and reference   August 18, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this book to be very well written and informative. He starts at a level almost anyone can understand and expands from there, covering event driven programming, good examples. I specially liked the section on publishing your applications.


4 out of 5 stars for the neophyte   July 4, 2008
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Foxall gives us a quick coverage of C#, well suited to a neophyte. The book seems equally divided between the explanations of graphics and non-graphics. The latter means traditional aspects of any programming language, as in the use of if-else, while and for loops. Here, you might as well be studying C in 1980. These are fundamental constructs that any language needs.

What is perhaps more distinctive of C# are the graphic components, widgets. Foxall shows how to quickly write short programs that can make a few widgets and lay them out in a window for the user to interact with. En route, he teaches about event driven programming, where if you use graphics, the user can interact with the program in many ways. Hence the structuring of code to handle this is quite different from programs lacking a GUI. The use of widgets also lends itself well to you understanding object oriented coding.
