• Useful but no advanced material. Bloated writing style
  This is a useful book. It covers all major topics in c# - no mean accomplishment. The chapters are well designed with good examples. As a professional programmer, I find software technologies keep expanding and there are always new topics to learn. For those topics that I knew little about, this book was very useful however, the depth is limited and for those areas with which I was familiar, there was little new.
