Product Description:


C# 2005 has enjoyed huge success in the year since its launch, firmly establishing itself as the premier language for development on Microsofts successful .NET 2.0 platform. With the launch of the .NET 3.0 extensions in early 2007, the horizons of this language are being extended, and it is becoming even more powerful as it is able to leverage the new .NET 3.0 Foundations.



In recognition of this, Apress presents Pro C# with .NET 3.0, Special Edition to provide you with a complete A-to-Z reference for using C# with the .NET 2.0 platform and the .NET 3.0 extensions. The book contains new chapters that explore the interactions between the existing framework and the new extensions, giving you an edge when you evaluate and implement .NET 3.0 for the first time. To provide even more support, a bonus PDF download will be available with each purchase, offering over 500 pages of carefully selected additional content to help broaden your understanding of both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Comprehensive and well-written
Pro - This book covers a lot of ground. The writing is clear and the explanation is good. This is definitely one of THE C# books to read.

Con - Considering this is a book for professionals by professionals, I think some of the materials here may be too elementary for experienced software professionals. I also agree with other readers here that it does not cover enough of the 3.0+ material here. But I would imagine if it did, the book would be "super-huge".

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Elegant writing and thorough coverage
Fresh from bashing the bloated idiots' mind-dump produced by Wrox on this subject I felt compelled to put in a glowing endorsement of this very well written book. It's a fairly meaty book, intermediate to advanced I think, but so well written it's a joy to read.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Resource
Like Andrew's other books, this book is well written. It is an excellent resource for C# syntax, concepts, and under the hood workings. Unlike other technical resources, this book reads easy. The author doesn't jump full bore into a deep technical discussion without building and explaining concepts through concise, yet simple, language and numerous examples. A recommended desk ornament for any hard core programmer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Apress does a real good job
This book allowed to literally give away 3 rows of programming books. Apress always does a good job on their publications. This book is really all an experienced C# programmer needs in his library (aside from a good ASP.net) book for web design techniques



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost Excellent
Andrew Troelsen is an excellent author and knows how to explain things. The book covers in a detailed way the phylosophy of .net and the C# programming language. This is it's strength.
On the other hand, I do think that the later chapters are misguided. We have a chapter about .net remoting, another one on Windows forms, and then a short introduction to the .NET 3.0 stuff like WPF, WF and WCF. Well, I bought the book for the 3.0 material. Why didn't they call the book:
