I remember the time when I decided to teach myself C# - I took a week off and dedicated it to reading and playing with C# and .NET. I’ve used this book for my own 5-day C#/.NET crash-course. Printed a year ago, it was one of the few C# books in my local bookstore. Being pretty experienced with C++ and knowing Java, I feel this book did pretty good job to allow me to get by with C#, but not more. About quarter of this book is about C# while the rest of the book covers various parts of .NET.
This book gives an OK coverage of C# and light overview of .NET. Don’t expect to become .NET expert after reading this book, but it is generally good first .NET book for an experienced developer. Almost certainly you will find yourself needing in-depth books as you continue learning. The second edition is now available.
