The book although covering most basic topics only gives snipets of code required to build the working game.
Although the source code is available on the apress site its not complete or even compilable. There are lots of posts on the apress site forum about this, however it doesn't look like there has been any reply to these, the author seems to not be working to fix this either. There are however some people that have actually edited the code themselves and have a semi working game available to download and compile. The book does cover basics but as this is a beginners guide I would suggest this is alot of work for actual beginners. Try "Microsoft Visual C#.NET 2003 (Kick Start S.)" its much better starting point in my opinion.
