Excellent book for beginning C# / .NET windows programming  2005-11-23
Mr Petzold covers a lot of ground here. The most fun thing is that you can use the very same concepts in VB.NET or J# with no loss in the material. Sometimes I found the book a little bit long winded in its explanations, but in the end you always know that Petzold will deliver. The book seems oriented toward beginners, but experts can benefit too.
Funtastic book, 1200 golden pages . 2005-08-25
The last reviewers described all, so I decided not going too deep in my review. At this time I didnt had finished this one yet but for what I already saw its a classic C# for sure. The book price is also very good and if you are thinking in getting knowledge of C# on Windows you will not get this book content in other book so easy, this one you must have in your shelf. Very good book from the Master Petzold.
Great GUI Book!! 2005-08-11
I was a Microsoft Visual C++ programmer for more then 5 years. I am currently writting a program that involves heavy graphics in C# and needed a book to learn from quickly and provide extensive details on graphics (drawing to the form; not simply placing buttons and code on it). I went to Borders and looked at it, then ordered it. It is a very good investment if you are doing heavy drawing to the form. As for the people who do not like C# or this book, all I can say is, you do not understand C# as well as you think you do, it is a great program; as for the book, you need to be able to take the pieces of code and then put all of the pieces together (a concept called learning) and stop expecting others to provide every detail of a problem.
good book 2005-08-10
Avoids using the .NET environment, wich is a bit silly.
But that way you learn and understand more about C#, you have to do it all by yourself(if you wish). Everything you ever wanted to know about text and grafics with forms and C# is in there.
Book for GUI developers  2005-04-21
This book was a huge disappointment. It seems that Mr. Petzold thinks that GUI is all that Windows programmer should know about. Well, surely this is all you will learn from this book - almost 1300 pages on how to draw shapes and display various kinds of buttons.
On the other hand, people who really code GUIs for living might find this book very interesting as it contains a LOT of information on this topic.
I give it 3 stars for being comprehensive on one topic (GUI?). Took two away for the misleading title.
