At http://www.codeproject.com/... there is a hilarious list of ways to shoot yourself in the foot in various programming languages. C You shoot yourself in the foot. C++ You accidently create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot.

The subtitle to to this excellent book is "C# illustrated clearly, concisely and visually". By using diagrams to make clear various points, the author has provided an excellent manual to C# 2010. I recommend this book to all C# developers. It should be in every C# programming team's library. Whilst providing insights to experianced C# developers, it would also be a good book for someone to learn C# from. I look forward to reading more books from this author
I am now halfway through readign this books and I continue to be favourably impressed by it. It includes many of the new features of C# 4.0, including one that was new to me. This is a very good C# language manual and I have no hesitation in recommending it both to individuals and to C# development teams. It is good for those learning C# and for those with years of experiance of C#. You can buy a copy online at http://www.apress.com/book/...

Apress Books Introducing Visual C# 2010 - ISBN 978-1-4302-3171-4 Having read through parts 1 and 2 of this 4 -part book, I am very impressed by its practical approach to C#. I cannot improve on the by-line "Get started on your C# journey with an expert by your side leading by example" Adam Freeman teaches C# by precept and example. I suspect he drives a Volvo C30 as it comes up in many of the code examples! Throughout the book there are numerous links back and forth so as to avoid overcomplicating...
Windows Communication Foundation 4 - ISBN 978-0-7356-4556-1 is one of the Microsoft Step-By-Step books. I will be studying this book over the comming weeks. What I have seen so far impresses me. One very practical item that more books of the type should have was the "Finding your best starting point". There is one feature about this book that I hope Microsoft Press will provide on more books and that is to also provide the book electronically via Safari. Included in this is getting the book as a...
