I've been programming in other languages so I have a good base to start from but this book does an excellent job of introducing me to C#. It is very easy to follow, they build on examples well, and introduce the object-oriented concepts well. I used to do a lot of simple programming 'glue' to make things work but this book broadens my understanding considerably.
It's a great way to learn C#. It covers programming issues for both the Win 7 and Win 8 bi-polar mode (desktop vs full-screen app). It also gives a nice introduction to Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 so that you learn the basics of debugging and using the editors and environment which can be very intimidating at first (I know it was for me!).
It covers a general topic in each chapter like methods, scope, objects and gives a real simple easy to understand definition and real world explanation of the concepts. This makes it very easy to follow.
I highly recommend this book.

This book is about building Windows Store Apps for Windows 8. It's not about learning C# for more general purposes. Avoid this book if you wish to write code for Windows 7, Vista or general support for .NET 4 & 4.5, or if your goal is web development. When it comes to covering important topics like multi-threading, Async methods, Data Binding, and database, those chapters limit themselves to full screen Windows 8 apps.
If your goal is to do something useful with C#, like file I/O, Graphics, Security, Networking, etc., this book doesn't touch those subjects.
My goal was web development. Since C# is grabbing the attention of the web development community I assumed this book would having something to say about it.... not a word. The word 'web' can't even be found in the index. The Web templates that come with Visual Studio are ignored. If you can limit your users to Windows 8 or are willing to limit your market to full screen Windows 8, then this book might help. I'm very disappointed in this book.
