Good classics on older version of C# - 5.0. Still useful. Clear explains language. History and development aspects from C# version 2.0 to 5.0. Quick and easy to use reference book. I've got book at hands and decided to read. Current version of C# is 8.0 and there is ready published and available fresh updated book version for C# 8.0 available to buy.

I am a C++ programmer and I need to learn C# for work. Managed languages are a whole different ballgame. Sometimes you want to scream "I know what I'm doing!" when it tells you that something is wrong. This book is an excellent primer, and now I'll be moving on to the Microsoft Virtual Academy course and C# In Depth.
