I last programmed in Fortran 15 years ago and was hoping to learn a modern object oriented (oo) lanaguage, but I found this book disappointing, hard work and yes, rather boring.

Instead of enthusing upfront about the wonders of oo programming, the book first drearily grinds through 99 pages of variable types, arithmetic operators and if statements in completely procedural fashion.

"Object-Oriented Programming" doesn't actually come until p211 (after another frustrating 100 pages of technicality), by which stage the book is so far into the nitty gritty of C# syntax that I'm totally lost.

So instead I'm going to try the "Head First" Java book (which tries a much more innovative approach) and reverse into C# since the languages are so similar. I won't be bothering with "Dummies" again.
