Книга будет интересна опытным программистам, и людям только осваивающим .NET 3.0.
This book is as weighty within as its heft suggests. It covers nearly every dimension of C#, ranging from the basics of its syntax to the more difficult (for me) concepts of inheritance, delegates, and multithreading. It is comprehensive enough to be a valuable overview for the new initiate to C#, but is not a "21 days" text; programmers with some C# already, or another equivalent language, I suspect would most benefit. For me, it was particularly helpful in preparing for technical interviews.
I particularly enjoyed Troelsen's ability to present highly abstruse and intricate (and, often, dry) concepts with both humor and an absence of fluff.
I haven't read this in its entirety but have read over 50% of the 1100+ pages, so I'm submitting a review.
This is my favorite book on C#. The writing is clear and thorough, with plenty of example code, but it is not overly verbose. The book covers a wide range of C#-related topics, with stuff for both novices and professionals.
