Beginning C# 7 Programming with Visual Studio 2017

I like, as a fact, I've always liked the Beginning series of these books as they teach you by giving you what you need, then, by entering the code and seeing it run for you to get a feel for what it does, and how to do it. This is very important to me as I'm the kind of person that learns by doing. The book goes into great depth to teach you all the basics of the language, and of the other parts of the system needed to gain a thorough understanding of how it works.That being said, please understand that some of the topics are covered in great detail, while other technologies are only briefly touched upon. Yes, they do give you a basic understanding of things like: Entity Framework, Data Access, ASP and ASP.Net MVC and Core. These technologies are so in-depth that they require separate books to understand, else if included in this book, the book would be a 25 pound book of such size to make it daunting at best to learn.The book covers all of the C# 7 language and enhancements which is a good thing.Enjoy learning and remember, when you're done with this book, then you can begin to learn deeper technologies.

I been writing in C# for a while I picked this up to work on my object oriented programming. It goes from basics to more advanced stuff. Only thing that i would like to see is a little more on the overview. Like the implications of creating structures over classes. That can cause issue if you are nesting. I came across this playing with different techniques seeing how they effected a property grid in WPF. And found i cant nest a structure. If you can i did not see the method in here. But overall it is a nice book that is quite detailed.

I'm finding this book easier to read than the book that was used by my professor. The author lets you know if a section is for experienced vs beginner programmers. It shows Visual Studio as well as C#.

The book does a good job of explaining each of the exercises. However, I've found a few typos already and I'm just up to Ch05Ex05. On the bright side, troubleshooting the exercises makes one better. Proof reading the book would've helped prior to release.Also, it would've been nice if this was available on PDF rather than on Kindle format. The sluggish Kindle app is not a good platform for any text book.minus two stars for the errors and it being on Kindle.

I guess I didn't look closely enough before I bought this book. I thought it was well written and I was excited to start moving through it until I hit this quote on page 31: "...this book doesn't cover Windows Forms". To be fair, page 31 is included in the preview but it could be highlighted more in the description. Although old, windows forms are still very commonly used for some applications. Anyway, buyer beware. Otherwise, a good reference.

He's done Khan Academy, Scratch, Tinker etc. and I decided it's time for him to be a "real programmer". He's 11 BTW but has been coding for 4 years. he is really doing well with it and I think it was a great choice.

Highly recommended if you are learning C# but already have some basic programming background. Some concepts may be difficult to get if you are learning how to program from scratch using this book.

I like the easy to understand examples, the depth on critical methodology and the separation in console, window and .NET programming and their differences.

great book! I kept borrowing from library and then decided to buy. I wish I found this book earlier. Get this instead of popular “...in easy steps”. Material in “beginning...” covered so much deeper. I wish I bought hard cover, because this book is thick and heavy to carry around, and soft cover takes some beating. But very well worth the extra weight. I give this book 5 out of 5.

Well laid out book with plenty of information

Although I am an experienced programmer, but not with Object Oriented methods, I think this book would work just as well for those with little knowledge of programming as it starts simply before taking you through the concepts of Object Oriented programming and into complex topics. I found it easy to follow and expect to create my first real OO program as a result of working my way through this book.

This is a comment about the price only: [14th April 2018] At current exchange rates, £1 = $1.42, The price from Wrox.com is $35.99 (equivalent to £25.27). Even adding UK VAT rates at 20% (not sure whether that applies if the purchase is made in the US) and adding any currency conversion charges (about £1) , it would still be much cheaper than the Amazon UK price here of £42.75. Also, another point to bear in mind is that Wrox provides the content of the eBook in 3 different formats: PDF, ePUB, and Kindle (.prc) - all are included in one download. Personally, I find the PDF format easier to work with on a reasonably large screen desktop PC. and prospective buyers might need to consider their options as to where to buy this book from.

This book is not for the complete beginner to programming and/or c#...i found i had to find another route before reading this book. Also found the odd mistake which i will update on the web site errata page.
