    Mr. Foxall's direct are concise, accurate, and easy to follow.

    I am on my third time through the book and am still learning things. I have used the book with 2 homeschool students, and a homeschool parent. The ten year old and the seventeen year old have had no difficulty following his instructions and are delighted with being able to create programs in C#. I will be looking at all other programming books that he has written.

    mostly about GUI building

    Foxall gives one of the latest in Sam's Teach Yourself series. Where each chapter is considered do-able in one hour, and there are 24 chapters. A gimmick that perhaps is a little confining on both the author and the reader. The author has to pigeonhole sufficient material into a chapter to meet this constraint. While if the reader takes too long to assimilate a chapter, she might wonder about her abilities. Anyhow, I recommend that you ignore this one chapter-one hour formalism. Just read the chapters as you would any other text on Visual C#. The book's pedagogy is heavily directed towards GUI building in that language. That is clearly the book's strength. The programs tend to be event-driven. Where you might hook up a listener to a widget, and then code actions into it, when an appropriate event happens in the widget. The book does teach about pure computational aspects. Like about using variables, arrays and conditional logic. Plus about the intrinsic ideas in object oriented programming. But these appear in the second half of the book. After the UI discussions. The computational explanations are relatively sparse. Little indepth is done with these.
