    Very easy to read and get started on specifics of the language. In between the lines, as I was taking notice, I was able to learn more than just the topic at hand by simple exploring. The book writer encouraged this practice.

    The binding was slightly damaged, and it was a little late. I don't like getting brand new books with damaged binding; they have a tendency to get worse quickly. I tried to share an image of the slight damage. I don't know if it worked.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Published 10 months ago by Microsoft Press, and already OBSOLETE!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2022

    I'm just into Chapter 2, and the sample code (downloaded from the website) is already failing to even build.
    The problem seems to be that the author chose to do all demo code as UWP apps (even though he acknowledged that it would be superseded by WinUI3 apps). Unfortunately for some of us, Microsoft seemed to have killed UWP a month or so ago, and when working in Visual Studio 2022, you don't even get the option to build a UWP as he described it anymore. And loading and trying to build his sample code in VS2022 results in flood of error messages.

    I've been out of the Windows graphical application programming world for over a decade, but I used to do it a fair amount (beginning in the mid-90s). For those of you who know even less than I do, I think that there have been several tools to create graphical applications in Windows. In chronological order:

    1. Winforms: Not really supported by Microsoft for over a decade, but, unfortunately, what I thought I knew, and could fall back on. My bad.
    2. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Introduced about 15 years ago, Still supported. Seems really powerful (and complex). If you are doing just a PC-based product, probably a good choice.
    3. UWP: Developed around when Windows Phones were a thing. Remember those? Neither do I. It was meant to be a tool to develop apps that would work on Windows phones, tablets (e.g. Surface) and PCs.
    It seems like it was a thing until a year or two ago.
    4. WinUI. Meant to be the replacement for UWP (as mentioned in this eBook I just wasted money on). They're on version 3, and this time, they really, really mean it!. If you google it, you'll find plenty of snarky comments and probably legitimate comments over the last few years. The issues are foreign to me (since I've been out of the game for over a decade), but I gotta wonder: Why is this so hard).

    Anyway, if you are like me, please don't buy this edition of the book. On page 42 of the digital edition of the book, the writer says: "Using UWP provides a degree of stability that Win UI3 doesn't yet have, although I expect to switch all the code and samples in this book to WinUI3 if there's a future edition!" (exclamation point is his).

    Becoming obsolete after just 10 months from publication is not a "degree of stability" I'm comfortable with.

    BTW, as I have acknowledged, I've been away from Windows programming for quite awhile, so if anyone has any wisdom to add to this, or corrections, please do! Maybe I'm just using it wrong! (#SteveJobs)

    1.0 out of 5 stars Project code for book does not build
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This book is written in a way that from chapter 2 onward you must build the book's chapter projects from code you download. The explanations in the book depend on you being able to run these downloaded projects. When you try to build one of these projects you sit and wait while the project builds and at the same time attempts to download project resources that will eventually time out and the build will error out making the book useless.

    I'm pretty new with c# I finished a beginner book and then decided to financially commit to this one. It's easy to follow and straightforward. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

    It's also helped me in PowerShell and JSON even though they're totally different languages.

    Highly recommended
