About the author

Librarian Note: There are more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

John R. Sharp worked as a linguist and analyst for the U.S. Government for over 40 years, teaching and writing curricula for Modern Standard Arabic and several Arabic dialects. During his studies in Cairo, he became fascinated with Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, but was frustrated at not finding a good, searchable index of pharaohs' cartouches (name rings), so he decided to make one himself, a project that took several decades. He lives in Hawaii.

This was a good reference circa 2006-2010. I now consider it an outdated programming reference book and have donated my copy to Better World Books.

C# (cee-sharp) has evolved over the years. Version 1 has improved considerably with C# 7.0 being a part of Visual Studio 2017.

A pretty typical tech book full of lame jokes and plenty of examples, most of which will work with some tweaking. Lets face it, if you're reading it, you probably want to learn XNA gamestudio express, and this is your first ticket on the ride. I made a vastly improved Windows calculator program using very little imagination with the examples given.

This book lives up to its name: it's literally "step by step". So, it's good if you don't know what you're doing because it directs you. In the process though, you don't learn a thing. You'd be better off getting a book that explains what you're doing before doing it.
