Hit or miss

This book was recommended to me by a colleague as an introduction to C#, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

I'm a fairly experienced C++ and Java programmer, and for someone at my level, it spends too much time on basic programming concepts (object-oriented programming, threading, etc) rather than teaching me about C# at the level I need. (At the same time, the treatment of these subjects is probably too cursory for someone who did not already understand them.)

There are also numerous typos and formatting errors; this might not ordinarily matter so much, but it often makes the code samples more difficult to read.

For an experienced programmer I might recommend "Inside C#" by Tom Archer & Andrew Whitechapel instead.
