Is C# 5.0 Programming by Ian Griffiths Worth Reading?

Question

C++ / C#

Has anyone read this author's book? Worth buying? Or pay attention to other authors?

Answer 1

Yes
No
Yes

Answer 2

In any case, it is already undesirable to read a book called "Programming C# 5.0", because C# 7.2 is in the yard and C# 8.0 will come soon.
I have not read this author, I can not say for the quality, but I can advise:
for beginners: Andrew Troelsen
for more in-depth study: Jeffrey Richter
In principle, if you master these two books well, you will be fluent in the language.
