C# 4.0 Unleashed
C# 4.0 Unleashed is a practical reference focusing on the C# language and the .NET platform as a whole. While covering the language in lots of detail, it also provides enough coverage of various popular .NET technologies and techniques (such as debugging) for the reader to be successful on the .NET platform. The in-depth coverage of the language features is crucial to the success of a developer. Knowing exactly where and why to use certain language features can boost efficiency significantly. This book differs from other works by going into enough depth on how things work, while not being a clone of the formal language specification. Concise anecdotes with concrete samples illustrate how certain language features behave, and also point out possible caveats in using them. On the side of platform coverage, the author provides a gentle introduction to the wide landscape of the .NET platform, following a logical structure that reflects the high-level architecture of an presentation, logic, data, connectivity, etc. In the .NET part of the book there's coverage of relevant new technologies such as cloud computing, modeling, and parallel programming - things that will gain much more attention moving forward.

This is one of the best technical books I have ever read!
The depth at which the material is covered is impressive. I am amazed by the author's knowledge and his willingness to share it through the book. A separate part of the book that I appreciated a lot was all the side notes providing background, history, references to other languages and techniques. One other great thing reflected in the book which I liked very much is the author's interest in functional programming and programming languages, which is one of my biggest passions as well.
I cannot recommend this book enough to people interested in C# (there is a lot of things besides C# to learn from this book as well).
