I like the style of this book. Lots of code examples explaining the concepts.

Early chapters are excellent. However, the later chapters are riddled with errors and I found not in enough depth & detail.

Slightly disappointing. No errata online anywhere and no code examples on GitHub. :-(

Even though I'm the author of the book, I'd still like to write a short review for it. I read the book again, I found this book enriched with content that is required for preparing the Microsoft C# Certification Exam 70-483. The beauty of the book is in its arrangement of the topics which are connected to every next topic in a way that makes a perfect balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. Its harmony among topics is helpful for any beginner to quickly learn and understand the deep concepts of C# programming from the beginning.

If you need any question regarding the book, please feel free to shoot me an email at imaliasad@outlook.com.

Thank you, looking forward to help you out!
