Windows Forms Programming in C# (Microsoft .NET Development Series)90 reviews
Chris Sells
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003
Very readable coverage of very relevant material
+ The second edition is out the covers Windows forms V2, you may want to buy it instead.
I got this book after having already done quite a bit of WinForms programming and found it a compelling read. I'd have read after a platform/language primer but before doing any actual WinForms work, had I had it in my possession at that time.
Its the first programming book in some time that I ...

C# 2.0: Practical Guide for Programmers (The Practical Guides) 8 reviews
Michel de Champlain, Brian G. Patrick
Morgan Kaufmann, 2005
A no-nonsense introduction
+ Best book for learning C# and OOP ground up
+ Sharp!
"C# 2.0 - Practical Guide for Programmers", by Michel de Champlain and Brian Patrick is a rather serious affair, aimed at experienced programmers seeking to move to C#. It covers the C# language, the .NET framework and object-oriented programming. All pretty scary stuff for new programmers, but ...

Professional ADO.NET 2: Programming with SQL Server 2005, Oracle, and MySQL6 reviews
Wallace B. McClure, Gregory A. Beamer, ...
Wrox, 2005
If your work with databases, get this book!
+ A good ADO.Net reference
+ Just Show me Everything new!
There are a number of great things about this book, from my perspective. For me, perhaps the best chapter was the one on the custom ADO.NET provider. Even if you do not want to create a custom provider (and honestly, I do not think I will), reading through that chapter helps explain how the ...

Wiley, 2004
Factories are the future
+ Exceptional reasoning on software construction
This book provided insightful coverage of what I think is a fascinating topic. THe author organizes the material in a logical manner making it easy to transition from one topic to another.

Professional WinFX Beta: Covers "Avalon" Windows Presentation Foundation and "Indigo" Windows Communication ... 2 reviews
Jean-Luc David, Bill Ryan, ...
Wrox, 2005
Nice but not what I expect
Very simple and clear intro into the new Microsoft technologies as WCF and WPF but the book lacks deeper description of internal mechanisms on which those technologies are built. I'd rather call this book not "professional winfx" but rather "introduction to winfx" of "beginning winfx".

Why only 1 star???

Honesty I think this book is great and yes there are aspects of the book that could be improved but overall its still a great book. I think if you are serious about becoming a PRO software engineer, you should checkout this book. More books like this should be written to help programmers grasp the ...
