With Head First C#, Andrew and Jenny have presented an excellent tutorial on learning C#. It is very approachable while covering a great amount of detail in a unique style. If youve been turned off by more conventional books on C#, youll love this one.

Jay Hilyard, software developer, coauthor of C# 3.0 Cookbook

Ive never read a computer book cover to cover, but this one held my interest from the first page to the last. If you want to learn C# in depth and have fun doing it, this is the book for you.

Andy Parker, fledgling C# programmer

Going through this Head First C# book was a great experience. I have not come across a book series which actually teaches you so wellThis is a book I would definitely recommend to people wanting to learn C#

Krishna Pala, MCP

Head First Web Design really demystifies the web design process and makes it possible for any web programmer to give it a try. For a web developer who has not taken web design classes, Head First Web Design confirmed and clarified a lot of theory and best practices that seem to be just assumed in this industry.

Ashley Doughty, senior web developer

Building websites has definitely become more than just writing code. Head First Web Design shows you what you need to know to give your users an appealing and satisfying experience. Another great Head First book!

Sarah Collings, user experience software engineer

Head First Networking takes network concepts that are sometimes too esoteric and abstract even for highly technical people to understand without difficulty and makes them very concrete and approachable. Well done.

Jonathan Moore, owner, Forerunner Design

The big picture is what is often lost in information technology how-to books. Head First Networking keeps the focus on the real world, distilling knowledge from experience and presenting it in byte-size packets for the IT novitiate. The combination of explanations with real-world problems to solve makes this an excellent learning tool.

Rohn Wood, senior research systems analyst, University of Montana
