The C# Yellow Book is now in PDF

Students lucky enough to come to Hull get a free copy of my C# programming book (this year in a snazzy yellow cover). If you come to see us on an Open Day we will also give you a printed copy. Until recently the only way to get sight of the book was to come to Hull and get one.

However, that has now changed, you can now download a PDF of the book from http://www.robmiles.com/c-yellow-book/.

Please let me know what you think.

Im currently a 1st year student that has NEVER done ANY coding befor (yes i realise the s**t im now in for choosing to do CS, no need for comments on that). I am finding this book quite confusing as it seems to go straight into the deep end. Is there another book on C# that you would recommend for someone who wants to learn to doggy paddle first?

Great stuff, Rob -- I particularly like the fact that you linked to Robert Read's excellent "How to be a Programmer" article at the end of your book -- nice touch!

Well, i'll download it soon, as I said before, but isn't the pink book just as good.

To Cpt. Anonymous. If you are studying at Hull please drop by and see me in my office, or after a lecture, and we will sort something out.

I am the IT and general computer fix-it guy at a small private high school in Missoula, Montana USA. I have been looking for something like your C# Yellow Book for some time. All the books I have looked at previously went overboard on about page 3. Would you happen to be willing to send me an editable copy, say a Word doc, of you book? I would like to edit the heck out of it for my own classes. We presently do two years of Visual Basic and I want to go to a first year of VB (it is what the teacher knows) and the second year be C#, which neither of us knows. As I work through your book I would like to be able to add notes to myself, how to use the Visual Studio features, debugging, saving and all the other weird things I am learning from sturggling through VS2008 on my own. I promise not to sell the result and get incredably rich off the royalties.

Hmm, didn't take long to get uploaded/mirrored on NetBks.com
