Pero en general lo recomiendo ampliamente sobre todo aquellas personas que deseen incursionar en esta nueva tercnología de Microsoft y más aun en esta nueva generación de Internet, ya que este será el lenguaje que regirá en los desarrollos .NET. C# es un lenguaje netamente orientado a objetos muy parecido, sintacticamente, a Java asi que un desarrollador en Java o en C++ le será muy facil aprenderlo. De todas maneras pueden conseguir gran cantidad de ejemplos en C# en el CD de la versión Beta del FrameWork.net y con los conceptos que aprendan en el libro es suficiente.

The beginning that starts in battle is the way human life starts - not born free but struggling and requiring courage and dedication and hard work to master and learn. The film is in the tradition of the Count of Monte Cristo, Les Miserables with its human suffering, and Audie Murphy's story with its incredible courage in the face of the seemingly unconquerable odds. It also gives a side of the Ancient Roman army that provides food for thought - it may well be that the army was more courageous than the politicians and their followers (does this seem to parallel modern times?) who misused it and sent it to fight their battles. I also like the idea that you need to live in other people's shoes so to speak in order to understand them - the slavery of Rome looked very different when seen from the inside than from the outside. The inconsistencies that some reviewers have noticed in the story seem to me less important than the consistencies and the similarities with our times. I would have given this film the Academy Award, although I think that it would be better to give several awards for best motion picture.
