Title: Programming C#, 4th Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Jesse Liberty Rating: 5/5 Every topic is clearly and simply explained in the minimum number of words - no waffle. This is the best book I've seen for getting started in C#. In fact it's the best technical book I have ever read. Some people have requested more depth - that would make it too heavyweight for people starting out in C#.

Title: Programming C#, 4th Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Jesse Liberty Rating: 5/5 This is the single best book I've read on C# and may be the best introductory book on programming in an object oriented language I've ever read. There are some surprising reviews below, I suspect they were written by people with an agenda that had nothing to do with this book, because Programming C# is clear and well written, with excellent examples. Liberty goes way beyond the standard documentation to explain all the fundamentals of hte language, which is why this book continues to be one of the best sellers in the field. The first part of the book is a primer on the language, and it is clear, and understandable and to the point. The second part is a quick review of how to use C# to create .NET applications, and the third part shows advanced topics in C#. In addition to having written an excellent book, Liberty supports his book on his web site, where he provides all the source code and a support discussion group, where he personally answers readers' questions. All in all, this is certainly the best C# book I've ever read and may be one of the best programming books I've ever read.

Title: Oracle9i PL/SQL Programming Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Scott Urman Rating: 4/5 This is a pretty decent book with plenty of advanced topics. Other than the fact that not all the advanced topics were covered I'm pretty happy with this edition.
