C# 3.0 in a Nutshell--New from O'Reilly: The Definitive Guide to C# and the Core .NET Framework
Sebastopol, CA--The writers of C# 3.0 in a Nutshell (O'Reilly, $49.99)--
brothers Joseph and Ben Albahari--get right to the point in their concise
and thoroughly updated reference to C# 3.0 programming as implemented in
Microsoft's Visual Studio 2008. In this new edition, they focus on
language syntax and usage essentials--as well as the parts of the .NET
base class libraries needed to build working applications. But unlike
earlier editions, the third edition is now organized entirely around
concepts and use cases, making it easier to read and understand.
C# 3.0 introduces the most significant enhancements yet to the programming
language. And C# 3.0 in a Nutshell dives into the subject while assuming
minimal prior knowledge of C#--making the content accessible to anyone
with a reasonable background in programming.
"If you're already familiar with C# 2.0, you'll find more than a hundred
pages dedicated to LINQ and other new C# 3.0 features," the authors say.
"In addition, many other chapters are designed to lift your existing
knowledge of C# and the core Framework."
Indeed, C# 3.0 in a Nutshell provides a succinct and easy-to-follow map
of C# 3.0 knowledge:
- The opening chapters concentrate purely on C#, starting with the basics
of syntax, types, and variables, and finishing with advanced topics such
as unsafe code and preprocessor directives.
- Later chapters cover the core .NET 3.5 Framework, including such topics
as LINQ, XML, collections, I/O and networking, memory management,
reflection, attributes, security, threading, application domains, and
native interoperability.
Designed as a handbook for daily use, C# 3.0 in a Nutshell makes an
ideal companion to any of the vast array of books that focus on an applied
technology such as WPF, ASP.NET, or WCF. The areas of the language and
.NET Framework that such books omit are covered here in detail.
Joseph Albahari is a core C# design architect at Egton Software Services,
and he has been developing large-scale enterprise applications on .NET and
other platforms for more than 15 years.
Ben Albahari is a former program manager at Microsoft, and he has worked
on three .NET teams, including ADO.NET and the .NET Compact Framework.
