Isn't Good for Beginners or Anybody

If you're a beginning programmer, or even a seasoned programmer, wanting to learn C#, then this book isn't for you. This book is riddled with errors that no programmer learning a new language should be told aren't errors. C# has never been able to drop-through in a switch statement, and the break statement in a default block has always been required. And, you can't have multiple type specifiers in a for-loop header. It amazes me that this book made it through technical review, if it even went through at all. I'll admit that I didn't read through the entire book, but after seeing the switch and for-loop statements that were presented in this book, I almost felt sick to my stomach. I've been using C# since version 1.0, and I have to recommend staying as far away from this book as possible, maybe even burning it if you see it. If you really want to learn C#, try C# 3.0: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guide (Osborne Mcgraw Hill)).
