Title: Sams teach yourself Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 in 24 hours
Description: Revision of Sams highest rated C# book-now we're taking it Visual! 
Part of the best-selling TY in 24 Hours series, this book reaches blue-collar coders on the verge of jumping to .NET programming. 
Completely updated for MS's "Everett" release, this book is 100% .NET -no messy legacy/beta code to muddle through. 
The author, James Foxall, has readers writing Visual C# applications within the first 80 pages of the book. 
Visual C# .NET is available as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET suite of developer tools ($1,079 to $2,499) or as a standalone product ($109 before MS rebates). With the initial release of Visual Studio .NET in 2001, the focus was on the new language C# and not the developer tool Visual C#. Now that Visual Studio is moving out of the "early adopter" stage and into general acceptance by the bulk of the developer audience, the trend is toward Visual C# as a developer tool with less interest in the basis language. Teach Yourself Visual C# .NET in 24 Hours provides readers with 24 structured lessons with step-by-step guidance to real-world programming tasks including Windows and Web applications. James Foxall moves beyond the pure syntax covered in most C# books to guide readers through the basics of Visual C# .NET. Each chapter includes practice exercises, tips, notes, and cautions providing easy-to-understand advice on how to start programming quickly. Sidebars provide more experienced readers with tips that will ease their migration from Visual Basic 6 and Visual C++ to Visual C# .NET.
