[Stefan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, might be handy for someone getting into C# from another language, but it's a far cry from O'Reilly cookbooks, with rather dubious selection of subjects and plenty of space spend on total basics (i.e. project setup). It isn't 2 star just because I'm in good mood ;-)
