Key FeaturesBuild modern, cross-platform applications with .NET Core 2.0Get up to speed with C#, and up to date with all the latest features of C# 7.1Start creating professional web applications with ASP.NET Core 2.0Book DescriptionC# 7.1 and .NET Core 2.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development, Third Edition, is a practical guide to creating powerful cross-platform applications with C# 7.1 and .NET Core 2.0. It gives readers of any experience level a solid foundation in C# and .NET. The first part of the book runs you through the basics of C#, as well as debugging functions and object-oriented programming, before taking a quick tour through the latest features of C# 7.1 such as default literals, tuples, inferred tuple names, pattern matching, out variables, and more.
After quickly taking you through C# and how .NET works, this book dives into the .NET Standard 2.0 class libraries, covering topics such as packaging and deploying your own libraries, and using common libraries for working with collections, performance, monitoring, serialization, files, databases, and encryption. The final section of the book demonstrates the major types of application that you can build and deploy cross-device and cross-platform. In this section, you'll learn about websites, web applications, web services, Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, and mobile apps. By the end of the book, you'll be armed with all the knowledge you need to build modern, cross-platform applications using C# and .NET.

Holy moly! I still don't realize what it was. It's definitely the worst .net book that I ever read. The book title should be: "The most starred MSDN topics" because the whole book is just a copy of popular microsoft news. The author should be deeply ashamed. I've not finished it and don't suggest you even start.

Not a bad book, stronger at the beginning than at the end. Unfortunately it is a bit of a mix of high level and details...which seems to happen a lot in programming books...where one might be better staying with one or the other.
For example, the latter chapters explaining how to implement solutions in console, windows, web, and mobile become, imho, progressively less helpful as they provide increasingly cursory looks at the topics...yet there is still a lot of code included...but not enough.
Don't know of a better book to tackle the subject. One of the reasons I chose this one was because the author has released three editions over a short time span to keep up with new releases from Microsoft.

Really nice book for beginners to start using C# and .net core. I liked that this book introduced into most essential stuff like LINQ, Entity framework, asp.net mvc, and also how to use Visual studio, because I was absolutely new to this topics.
