Hello people,

I have a question. I did use Beginning Java 1.4, and as you know it is a great book. Especially the way Ivor Horton explains concept about OOP with detailed examples. Now I'm wondering that is Beginning VC# written on the same way? Can anyone explain? I have to buy a C# book with OOP concepts. So you can comment on the new C# book freely.

Thanks a lot in advance.

This is probably a bit late, but just in case you haven't already bought a book, I'd suggest going with another title than this one. Check Deitel. If you've already bought this book, I hope you have better luck with it than I did. I found it nothing like Ivor Horton's Beginning Java 2 book. I found many explanations confusing because the authors assumed too much OOP knowledge for a beginner book. I wanted more examples and more in depth explanations. After reading Horton's book on Java, I went back and was able to easily understand the C# concepts that had eluded me. So basically, I learned C# by first learning Java. Not the most efficent method, but in the absence of good C# authors what could I do? :-)

BTW - I think there is a new edition of this book coming out sometime soon, which might be worth a look.
