Title: C# ok, but where is the .NET part?
Review: The book is a fair introduction to the C# language but it helps little with the .NET platform and even less with using C# + .NET to get things done. There is just a hint of interesting questions in the last two chapters, but Web Services are presented in a rather vague nutshell and space is wasted digressing about VS toolbox widgets instead of code examples.It was somehow infuriating to read the comment that debugging ASP.NET with the new Visual Studio is "easy" compared with the old Visual Interdev. In fact it is just as IMPOSSIBLE and even Microsoft's own documentation doesn't help at all. I guess the Redmond dudes still cannot fix the bugs in their debugging process. Oh well... <sigh>
