Programming C#: Building .NET Applications with C#

by Jesse Liberty

The programming language C# was built with the future of application development in mind. Pursuing that vision, C#'s designers succeeded in creating a safe, simple, component-based, high-performance language that works effectively with Microsoft's .NET Framework. Now the favored language among those programming for the Microsoft platform, C# continues to grow in popularity as more developers discover its strength and flexibility. And, from the start, C# developers have relied on Programming C# both as an introduction to the language and a means of further building their skills.

The fourth edition of Programming C#--the top-selling C# book on the market--has been updated to the C# ISO standard as well as changes to Microsoft's implementation of the language. It also provides notes and warnings on C# 1.1 and C# 2.0.

Aimed at experienced programmers and web developers, Programming C#, 4th Edition, doesn't waste too much time on the basics. Rather, it focuses on the features and programming patterns unique to the C# language. New C# 2005 features covered in-depth include:


Visual Studio 2005
Generics
Collection interfaces and iterators
Anonymous methods
New ADO.NET data controls
Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming
Author Jesse Liberty, an acclaimed web programming expert and entrepreneur, teaches C# in a way that experienced programmers will appreciate by grounding its applications firmly in the context of Microsoft's .NET platform and the development of desktop and Internet applications.

Liberty also incorporates reader suggestions from previous editions to help create the most consumer-friendly guide possible.

Solid base. Do you want code in C#? If yes, that book is mandatory.

As always the O'Reilly programming series is one of the best ways to learn a new programming language. Coming straight into this book from 'VB.Net in a Nutshell' and 'ASP.Net in a Nutshell' I was able to quickly get up to speed and was writing equivalent C# code the same day the book was purchased.
