“I’d reccomend this book to anyone looking for a great introduction into the world of programming and C#. From the first page onwards, the authors walks the reader through some of the more challenging concepts of C# in a simple, easy-to-follow way.

For anyone new to programming, there’s no better way to dive in.”

“[Head First C#] was an easy book to read and understand. I will recommend this book to any developer wanting to jump into the C# waters.

[I will recommend it to developers who] want to find a better way to explain how C# works to their less-seasoned developer friends.”
