Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform (Windows.Net) by Andrew Troelsen

by Andrew Troelsen

Released at the Microsoft Tech-Ed conference in Atlanta, Georgia, back in 2001, the first edition of this book coincided with the beta .NET platform and, in many ways, the manuscript was in beta too. Its fresh approach won a place as a 2002 Jolt Award finalist, and it won the 2003 Referenceware Excellence Award in the programming book category. Following the successful earlier editions, author Andrew Troelsen is pleased to announce completion of the fourth edition of his acclaimed “Over the years that I’ve spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language. I’m happy to say that this fourth edition of Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 platform is as close to a ‘final release’ as I’ve come yet!”Whether you’re moving to .NET for the first time or you’re already writing applications on .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0, Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Framework, Fourth Edition will provide you with a solid grounding in this new technology and serve as a comprehensive reference throughout your coding Explore five new chapters of content--including the grammar of the common intermediate language (CIL), .NET generics, and object serialization services.

Get a professional foothold--targeted to appeal to experienced software professionals and/or graduate students of computer science (so don't expect three chapters on iteration or decision constructs!).

Technical crap. Good stuff though. Troelsen has a way of taking very complex concepts and makes them easier to understand...
Not a cover to cover read. Great for reference.

This book is pretty decent. Has some good code samples in it. My only complaint about it is that there are times when they really do not go into detail and topics are treated like you already should know what they are taking about. For example the whole section window forms. Overall though it is one of the better books for people who are learning C#. Make sure to download the sample code from their website that accompanies the book. Most of it is the same as in the book but it is nice to have it in VS as well. Oh a really nice thing about this book as opposed to others... it is available on the Kindle... very cool.

به خاطر فراموشي ناشي از خدمت مجبور شدم اين كتاب رو مرور كنم. البته باز هم چند مبحث از جمله WPF رو نخوندم! آقاي Andrew Troelsen قلم فوق العاده اي داره و مطمئنم كتاب بعدي اي كه بايد در اين زمينه بخونم نسخه جديد همين كتاب ايشون هست. در صورتي كه مي خواهيد براي يادگيري C# كتابي رو انتخاب كنيد اين كتاب رو بخونيد

I need to learn yet another new technology just as I was getting used to the old .NET How exciting, he says with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
