Book Reviews of Microsoft? Visual C#? 2005 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))

Book Review: Good Starter book but supplement it with another book to learn all the programming constructs in C#
Summary: 4 Stars

Judging from the reviews here, I probably would not recommend this book if you have never programmed (or used "Windows-like" IDE) before. But if you are an experienced C++/Java programmer new to C# and comfortable with the Windows programming environment, I think this is a pretty good place to start.

Pros:
Good overview of C# 2.0. A much smaller book compared to many books out there. Easy to read (you can probably read/skim through the first 200 pages in a couple of hours).

Cons:
You will need other books to supplement this one to learn the language well but I think it's typical.
Probably the same complaint I have against all computer books - still too long for a beginner's book. It's still 500+ pages long.

Note:
The book does not cover WPF, WCF, WF and LINQ since it is written for C# 2005.

For references, I own:
Troelsen's Pro C# with .Net 3.0, Michaelis's Essential C# 3.0, Hejlsberg's The C# Programming Language 2e.
