You want to learn C# programming, but you're not sure you want to suffer through another tedious technical book. You're in luck: Head First C# introduces this language in a fun, visual way. You'll quickly learn everything from creating your first program to learning sophisticated coding skills with C# 4.0, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4, while avoiding common errors that frustrate many students. The second edition offers several hands-on labs along the way to help you build and test programs using skills you've learned up to that point. In the final lab, you'll put everything together. From objects to garbage collection and from exceptions to interactions, you'll learn C# in a way that engages and entertains your brain.
Like the rest of the Head First books I have read, it's a solid and even entertaining approach to introducing someone to a topic. While I am an experienced programmer, I haven't touched anything related to .NET since it first appeared on the horizon. Again, like the others, it's not going to be a great reference book later, but it is literally a jump-start into the subject. Keep them coming Head First, even if it's a topic I don't need, I have never hesitated to recommend your books for others. In fact this one is out on loan to a friend.
