Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Programming for the Absolute Beginner provides beginner programmers with programming instruction using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition as a foundation language.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I've been struggling to learn to program for 6 months. I have purchased many books and failed to understand much. C# Express was a free IDE, so I downloaded it and purchased this book. This has been the first book to actually explain the basic of programming, the C# syntax (see I even know what syntax is... ), and designing forms. Each chapter begins with a description of a project, you then learn all the skills needed to complete the project and finally get to build the project with step by step instructions and source code listings. This book has also made me feel confident to take C# to the next level as I can finally jump into all those other books I purchased without feeling lost. C# Express for the Absolute Beginner is a well crafted book with a lot of insight for the beginner. It is sure to annoy an experienced programmer, but hey there are lots of books for intermediate/advanced users. I'm glad the author wrote this book - lots of beginners will appreciate it.
Perfect for Beginner

This is a great book. Just perfect for a beginner. I knew nothing about programming. After reading the first chapter I was able to create a Picture Viewer in Visual C# Express. At the end of every chapter you build a cool application or game. You not only learn how to use Visual C# Express but also C# the language. Highly recommended for the "Absolute Beginner".
