Customer rating is 5 of 5  a must have!   2009-03-08
By Wayne (South Pasadena, CA)
Most C# developers will have several different kinds of books. Books that introduce you to C#, some with advanced object compositions in C#, some that get into the nuts and bolts of C#/CLR, and others that are great reference books.

Visual C# 2005 The Base Class Library stands as a great reference book. It won't cover all the system types (to cover all the system types in a single book is not even practical) but it will cover the fundamental types that you use more frequently. Like if you had to teach english to someone in the most efficient manner you would use the 300 hundred most commonly used words to start. This book is along those lines.

I hope the book gets the recognition it deserves and the author continues to write books on future iterations of the framework and the expansion classes of the BCL. Many developers have Richter's CLR 2.0 book which is a good read for establishing some understanding of the mechanisms employed to execute your application. However, most developers will refer to those concepts notionally over coffee and lunch breaks. I think Balena's BCL book is a book more developers will refer to during their day to day programming tasks.

As an aside, if the fact that the book's title refers to VS 2005 C# deters you from buying the book because you're looking for a glossy cover that says VS 2008 or C# version > 2.0... then actually this book would probably be even more suitable for you. Meaning, you're just starting out in .NET and haven't made compartmentalized the differences between all the versions. As the title says this book covers the BCL and will prove valuable even when new iterations of the framework are introduced.

This covers C# and the most basic .net pretty well and is easy to understand. I just wish it covered more framework, but I guess its got to stop somewhere.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  The best C# book on the market   2008-06-10

I have read a few programming books and I can honestly say that no single one has had more positive impact on my level of programming skill and knowledge than this one. Let me preface this by saying that this is not a beginner book. That is, if you have never programmed with C# before, this is not the book for you. However if you have just finished a "beginner" book and are looking for the next step, then I highly recommend this book for you. Whether you are planning on getting into ASP.Net development, WinForms, SOA, or even XNA, this book will provide you with a firm grasp of the language fundamentals that will make jumping into any or all of the above much easier. The book is broken down into several chapters, each one covering different key topics of the C# language such as basic data types (what is boxing? How does the compiler handle value types vs reference types and why should you care?), Generics, Serialization, Reflection, and COM Interop, just to name a few. Mr Balena also maintains an online blog at the Code Architects site and has even been kind enough to personally answer a few of my questions that I had about the topics covered in the book. I can't recommend this book more, it really did make the difference for me between being a C# enthusiast and a professional C# developer.

Francesco Bakena is a well-known author, the book is good.
The themes and the examples are clean. The same line as Visual Basic. I recommend.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Exactly what I Needed   2008-03-12
By The Barber; not of Seville (Mid-West, U.S.A.)
I sought and purchased this book for the purpose of moving to C# 2005 from 2003. I have an extensive library of language and class references, guides and detailed texts for .NET 1.1. Much of that information will, of course, serve me well with the newer language, so what I sought was a good, basic introduction to C# 2005 that covered the important differences in the base classes. This book seems to have been written exactly for me!

Balena has an easy style of writing, also, that just seems to allow the information to jump right into your brain. There are other authors whose technical expertise is obvious to me, and whose books I regularly look to buy, but whose writing have quirks that can distract me at times. Balena is not such an author. Clearly, he knows how to make proper use of the IBrain.InputInformation(T info) method, rather than using the older, weakly-typed IBrain.InputInformation(object info) method. OK. Bad joke. But I hope you got my point!
