Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Key FeaturesExplore the newest additions to C# 11, the .NET 7 class libraries, and Entity Framework Core 7Create professional websites and services with ASP.NET Core 7 and BlazorBuild your confidence with step-by-step code examples and tips for best practicesBook DescriptionExtensively revised to accommodate the latest features that come with C# 11 and .NET 7, this latest edition of our guide will get you coding in C# with confidence.
You’ll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. Next, you’ll take on .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, working with the filesystem, and serialization. As you progress, you’ll also explore examples of cross-platform projects you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core.
Instead of distracting you with unnecessary graphical user interface code, the first eleven chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. Having mastered the basics, you’ll then start building websites, web services, and browser apps.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create rich web experiences and have a solid grasp of object-oriented programming that you can build upon.

This book is primarily for beginners, but intermediate-level C# and .NET programmers who have worked with C# in the past and want to catch up with the changes made in the past few years will also find plenty of useful information in it. Prior exposure to C# or .NET is not a prerequisite, but you should have a general understanding of programming before you jump in.
If you already have some C# and .NET skills and want to focus on developing apps, we recommend that you pick up Mark’s other .NET book, Apps and Services with .NET 7, instead.

Quite comprehensive and detailed, I love the step-by-step projects implementation in the last few chapters on ASP.NET. It not only tells how to write codes, but also how to configure develop environment for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

Great book for intermediate C# programmers. Book I have been looking for with solid code examples to learn from. Only what you need and great reference.

An excellent read for C# devs who are past the basic stuff.

Good book to read and to update your C# knowledge.

If you have already read an introductory book and had a play with C# and decided you wanted to read an in-depth catalogue of its features, rather than moving onto some beginner projects, this might be a good choice for you. Sort of the P.E.P. guidelines of C#. The author has good technical knowledge and one of the best explanations of the processes behind floating point imprecision I have come across to date. He also has extensive knowledge about previous versions of C# and dotnet, what has been added, removed, lacks backwards compatibility, etc.
However, I suspect many users will feel short sold that this is not a crash course in the language before moving onto the website projects, etc. For me, this could have been 200 pages shorter, less broad in scope and still had time for a more focused look at some of the key aspects, specifically: collection data structures (gets about half a page each), reading/writing to files, string manipulation (this part was actually covered nicely—after nearly 400 pages), etc. The part on types was okay and generally the book would be reasonable as reference material, but to read left to right is certainly not an experience I would repeat.
