Product Description
C# 2005 for Dummies is a thorough update of the original C# for Dummies title. The new edition brings the book up to date on C# features added in the C# 2.0 version that ships with Microsoft's new Visual Studio 2005. The book's friendly, conversational approach brings C# and new features like generics and iterators down to earth "for the rest of us." Readers with little or no programming experience can get a good start here. Readers with more experience will find this a congenial way to acquire a fine new language. Virtually every page of the original book has been updated or sometimes replaced to give you the latest cool stuff. Earlier versions of C# gave us "collections"--objects for storing lots of similar things. Now, C# 2.0 gives us the ability to write our own collections using generic constructs. Explore generics by helping OOPs, Inc., compete with its rival package shippers using their new generic priority queue collection. In C# 1.0, you could write your own iterator--an object that makes it easy to loop through a collection item by item. Now, C# 2.0 makes writing iterators much, much easier. Explore iterators by iterating anything that will hold still long enough. C# 2005 for Dummies thoroughly covers generics, iterators, and other new C# features and introduces many new features of Microsoft Visual Studio. As a bonus, you get tons of sample programs, five extra chapters, including one on using "C# on the Cheap," plus three nifty, valuable utility programs you can install and use for your own programming. And, to accompany and supplement C# 2005 for Dummies, there's a new Web site at CSharp102.com and a companion blog at CSharp102.blogspot.com. Visit soon.

 A decent book but definitely for beginners only, 2009-01-05
This is one of two books I read to get my introduction to C#, and I feel like since then I have been pretty successful. The book had actually has a very decent coverage of Object Oriented Programming. My only complaint really is the amount of humor that is interjected into the text, which I suppose is a hallmark of the "for Dummies" series of books. The humor is kind of cool and funny at first, but after a while it starts to get in the way of the subject matter. Not enough to inhibit learning, just enough to be a little annoying. Having said that though, this book did help me get started and, like I said, I have been pretty successful since then so I have to give the book at least four stars.

 C# 2005 for Dummies, 2007-12-10
This book is great. Compared to the Microsoft training books that start with the assumption, "We assume that you've been working with C# for 2 or 3 years" this book gets you up to speed from word 1. You start off learning and seeing code and end up knowing what inheritance, polymorphism, and generics are. The logical steps from one subject to the next are great! The references from one chapter to another are as well. Don't miss the 4 extra chapters on the CD.
Stephen Davis and Chuck Sphar did a great job. Thank you.

Very Helpful and Enjoyable, 2007-09-09
Even though I've been programming for years I found this book to be very helpful. I've used Visual Basic and other languages but not C and decided it was time to add C# to my skillset. I was pleased to find this book covers fundamental concepts often skipped by more advanced books and included details of syntax which the beginner needs to learn but which other authors often assume the reader already knows. The authors also use a light, humorous style which makes the reading faster and more enjoyable.

C# 2005 for Dummies, 2007-08-04
After having a few different textbooks that were difficult to understand I am extremely pleased with the quality, easy understandability and usuability of this book. Paired with my textbooks I have been able to grasp the harder concepts of C# that once were very difficult. There is some knowledge required of the language in order to be able to understand some of the concepts and grasp them fully but this book definitely makes it so much easier. I soon will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Web Design and Programming and feel very sure I will use this book as reference throughout the beginning of my career."A reference for the rest of us!" is definitely an appropriate slogan for the "DUMMIES" series of books.

Fantastic Book!!!, 2006-08-27
If you guys like me are starting programming with C# then
C# 2005 for dummies is the book to buy. It is extremely well explained with great examples, the loopings and object oriented are well explained as well. I purchased about 5 books on C# claiming to be beginners books but they were NOT. Most C# beginner book on C# assume some programming experience but NOT C# 2005 for dummies. By order I will recommend for a newbie in programming who wants to learn C#:
- C# 2005 for dummies
- The absolute beginner in C#
- Beginning C# 2005 from Wrox
Again Thanks to Mr Davis for this fantastic introduction to C#
