Reviews for Accelerated C# 2010 (Expert's Voice in C#)

1. Detailed and informative

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, April 12st, 2010

   This is a great book explaining the ins and outs of the language from the first versions. Really enables one to get an in-depth understanding of how this language works, as opposed to just getting lists of function names etc that one needs to memorise. With this book you can actually grasp the fundamentals of it.
   
   

2. Accelerated c# 2010 Good Start

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010

   As an IT trainer of 15 years, I've read a book or two on programming so its nice when you find a book that does what it says. Its a through introduction to the features of C# 2010. You will already need to be familiar with c# before you start so its not a beginners book. there is a nice balance between range of subject and depth of topic, if you need to know more then there is always the MSDN Library. you wont need to know about features introduced in 2005 as they are covered. I havn't given it a 5 its more 4.5, I would have liked a quick list of just the new features but saying that by going through the features of a language, you do find out about things you have forgotten or overlooked. Its a little dry in places, but if you wanted entertainment then buy a movie.

3. Highly detailed.

   Good overall book, in depth detail of most c# concepts. However, the annoying and continuous references to what C++ used to be like and do, could make the book difficult to read for thoses who don't know C++ concepts. The author seems to still be in that world.
   
   Some concepts are over engineered but overall a good techie book. Not for fresh-faces.
