Ratings and reviews

This is a good book with lots of useful information. The author does a great job of explaining advanced concepts and has lots of useful code examples. I'd almost recommend this book to programmers experienced in C# looking to brush up their skills in some areas, but after reading through it to prepare for the Microsoft C# exam, I can't say I'd recommend this book for one reason. This book's main weakness is that it is poorly organised. It has lots of sections that waste your time explaining rudimentary concepts you should already know if you have taken any basic computer programming courses, and it has lots of sections that repeat concepts covered in previous sections, or leave off explaining something and referring to later sections. It feels like they rushed through publishing this book and didn't spend enough time proofreading and editing it. I'd recommend it if you are studying for the C# exam, but if you're just trying to improve your C# skills, I'm sure there are better-organised books covering C# out there.
