Head First C# is a complete learning experience for object-oriented programming, C#, and the Visual Studio IDE. Built for your brain, this book covers C# 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008, and teaches everything from language fundamentals to advanced topics including garbage collection, extension methods, and double-buffered animation. You'll also master C#'s hottest and newest syntax, LINQ, for querying SQL databases, .NET collections, and XML documents. By the time you're through, you'll be a proficient C# programmer, designing and coding large-scale applications.Every few chapters you will come across a lab that lets you apply what you've learned up to that point. Each lab is designed to simulate a professional programming task, increasing in complexity until-at last-you build a working Invaders game, complete with shooting ships, aliens descending while firing, and an animated death sequence for unlucky starfighters. This remarkably engaging book will have you going from zero to 60 with C# in no time flat.

The creative approach to these "Head First" books are refreshing. The imagery and lessons are aimed at keeping your interest high, which can be challenging with technical subjects, even when it is a subject you like. I haven't had time enough to invest to make it all the way through this book yet, but what I have gone through has been easy to follow & understand. I definitely think this is a great book for a first time C# user/learner, but maybe not the best idea for advanced users (once you have the foundation built, you probably just want the information, nothing more).
