Title: A good foundation to start on
Review: The book takes an excellent approach in the early parts by introducing the reader to GUI'ed apps. In my opinion, this is what's very important. Writing Console applications is not as important as writing an application using Winforms, and the book encourages it early on. The book is *heavy*, and it has plenty of exercises after each chapter - though not as challenging (seasoned C.S. student), it's a good practice, and they require that the reader write the solution using GUI. It's a good book, it takes "No Knowledge" approach, so don't be surprised when it covers topics you already know.
