Rakesh,
A 'he'? The 'Programming C#' book provides no clue as to
his gender. I do actually have a 'Teach Yourself C++ in 21
Days' book that he wrote; and upon reviewing the back
cover, I see that he is a 'he.' ;) Never really noticed.
Thanks!
I just finished reading the chapter on Delegates and
Events. Although I do like the book and overall the
explainations are thorough and easy to understand, the
book is sometimes very aggrivating. There are many cases
where he talks about syntax and certain aspects of how to
accomplish something using excerpts from a source which he
reveals serveral pages later. The issue, many of these
excerts are incorrect and don't match the source he later
uses; many instances where he fails to put colons or
parenthesis after a function, etc.
Thanks for the book recommendation; I'll definitely check
it out.

Hi Aaron,
I would recommend Professional C# from Wrox.
PS: Jesse Liberty is a 'he' :)
HTH,

Hey,
I haven't gotten that far in my C# book lol. But I do
understand the concept. I have O'Reilly's Programming
C# by Jesse Liberty. Although the book is rather good,
there are a few things I don't like about it. She spends a
lot of time on certain subjects that I find are easy to
understand and not enough time on other subjects that
are little more involved. The most annoying aspects are
some of the example applications with show of the new
features she's explaining without any real example of real-world
application. Another annoying tidbit is that the
chapter on IO is one of the very last.
You recommend any other books? I find one book on a
programming language is never enough. ;)
