Head First C# Book - First impressions
Having read through several C# books - O'Reilly Learning C#, C# for Dummies , Microsoft's cyptic MCTS book etc. I found this new book a refreshing read. C# is just not something you can read about and just do - it required a lot of practice. This book is geared to doing as you are reading so is much more of a workbook than a text book. So far so good. Any other readers comments?

First off this book is aimed at those new to programming in C# and definately not aimed at those who already know and have programmed in C# using a previous version of the .Net Framework and looking for a guide to what's new in C# and the .Net Framework 3.0.
That being said, if you're new to C#, this book takes a refreshing stance on learning the language compared with other texts. There are plenty of practical excercises scattered throughout the book to test what you have learned along with good explanations of the material covered.
The book is also aimed at Windows programming and not Asp.Net programming with C# so if you're new to C# and are looking to program your own website then this isn't the book for you.
It does cover a lot of the basics that you will need to know to get started programming and even has a chapter on LINQ which, although the book states it's for .Net 3.0 is actually part of the .Net 3.5 framework.
One point however is that the book does teach some fairly bad habits and I have therefore marked my review down slightly due to this (example. On page 11 of the book it states that you should not rename "Form1" to something more meaningful. This is an extremely bad habit to get into. You should always rename your forms with more meaningful names.
That being said, this is an excellent book for complete newcommers to the C# langauge.
