C# Programming Basics for Absolute Beginners StepByStep C# Nathan Clark 9781975745080 Books Reviews

• This is the first book in Nathan Clark’s excellent series on the C# programming language and other programming languages. It displays that rare ability that Nathan Clark has He can take a complex subject and make it easy to understand. Clark follows a basic principle of education in IT subjects, learning by doing. He provides practical examples of each of the topics, making them easier to follow and understand. The book also provides a detailed overview of C# and explains to the reader what a person can and can’t do with it, as well as comparing C# to other programming languages that can be used within the Microsoft .Net framework, which is part of the Microsoft suite of products. This book has chapter on all the important sub-topics that C# programming comprises The History of C#, The C# Compiler, Data Types, Variable, Constants and Literals, and Type Conversion, just to name a few. C# Programming Basics for Absolute Beginners is an excellent guide for students who want to learn about this topic on their own or for instructors who are looking for a suitable textbook.
• As all books for "beginners"... they start writing code example without depth explanation of the structure... "This is a class and this is a method" ,"Lets move on...". By the time you reach page 20, you have been bombarded with example code with different "methods, classes", etc. that he does not explain or explain it so poorly. I bet the authors of these "beginners" forgot how was when they where beginners". So this book is not for beginners or self taught. You must have prior knowledge of definitions, structure to know what type of ______ the author is writing. I also read the "Programing for beginners" before this one and did not help at all. If you are a true beginner and self taught, don't get this book... I'm still looking for a true beginner's book. So sad.
• I don't have a computer or programming background, and its a little late in the game for me to be looking toward a new career. I do, however, want to become knowledgeable so at least I can "talk the talk" This book was great as even a novice like myself could understand the concepts. I have tried to read other programming books, and frankly, they might as well have been written in Greek. Not so with this book. This book will serve as a great foundation for continued studies of the subject
• I bought the whole set of three books in this series, attracted by their titles. Then I found not only they are almost useless, in terms of contents and organizations, but also the most carelessly edited IT books I have ever read.
  
  I would say that the books are useless to either beginners or experienced programmers. They are over-simplified, self-repeating, and ill-organized pamphlets. I don't see any necessity to have a three-book series. Actually, I don't see any necessity to publish these books at all.
  
  I could tell that these books were created in a rush and with carelessness. In such a short book (I finished a thorough reading in less an hour), the author used a lot of copying and pasting within the book itself. There are numerous errors. The most unbelievable one is that in Book 1, the entire Chapter 12 is a duplication of section 8.16, with even the typos being the same, e.g., the last line of the chapter "The value if 4", which should be "The value is 4".
  
  I have spent money and time on this garbage. I don't want the author and the editor to be awarded for their carelessness, so I urge everyone simply to skip this series.
• This book is a good place to start when it comes to learning about C#. As I've stated before, I'm not a coder, so I still have issues learning. I would definitely start with this book and move up from here. I did it wrong and went kind of backwards. While the books are easy to read and organized well, I faced some issues because of my lack of background. I'm really glad I went back and got this one.
• A little Background I am proficient in Javascript and PHP, so this isn't my first language. I have also taken a full C# course on Udemy that was about 18 hrs long and have been writing code for about 2 years consistently (nearly daily) as a hobby...
  
  NOW.. The Good I think that this entire book series is GREAT for SUPPLEMENTAL learning. It's really nicely structured and provides a lot of great code examples and you know exactly what your looking at. It's so good in fact, that I would probably buy the second and third books in the series (mainly the third) again just for reference.
  
  The Bad My two biggest criticisms of this book are its redundancy and not beginner friendly (which is in the title)... This book is far more code than explanations. This is not a problem in itself, however, There is often little to no deep explanation along with each example and it commonly repeats the phrase "this will be discussed in more detail later". Most of the code shows you how to write things, but no real explanation on how to use what you would have learned. A large portion of the book is spent repeating itself in explaining how the code would look if you used another data type (basically changing out 1 word).
  
  So for people who haven't written a line of code before, the best way I could explain is, if the author was describing a ball
  
  If you don't understand this, don't worry. It will be discussed in more detail later. This is a ball and what it looks like
  // Some block of code that shows a ball
  
  If you don't understand this, don't worry. It will be discussed in more detail later.This is a blue ball and what it looks like
  // Some block of code that shows a blue ball
  
  If you don't understand this, don't worry. It will be discussed in more detail later.This is a red ball and what it looks like
  // Some block of code that shows a red ball
  
  If you don't understand this, don't worry. It will be discussed in more detail later.This is a green ball and what it looks like
  // Some block of code that shows a green ball
  
  If you don't understand this, don't worry. It will be discussed in more detail later.This is a purple ball and what it looks like
  // Some block of code that shows a purple ball
  
  ...Anyways that's pretty much what this book is. If that's what you're looking for, that's what it has. Buy it or don't....
