by Joseph Albahari, Joseph Albahari

When you're programming C# 4.0 and need a little help, this tightly focused and practical book tells you exactly what you need to know -- without long introductions or bloated examples. It's ideal as a succinct quick reference or as a guide to get you rapidly up to speed if you already know Java, C++, or an earlier version of C#.

Written by the authors of the acclaimed C# 4.0 in a Nutshell (O’Reilly), this book covers the entire C# 4.0 language -- without skimping on the details -- including:

Features new to C# 4.0, such as dynamic binding, optional and named parameters, and type parameter variance All of C#'s fundamentals Advanced topics, including operator overloading, custom conversions, type constraints, covariance and contravariance, lambda expressions and closures, iterators, nullable types, and operator lifting LINQ, starting with sequences, lazy execution, and standard query operators; finishing with a complete reference to query expressions Unsafe code and pointers, custom attributes, preprocessor directives, and XML documentation

The only thing I missed in this book were details about some more complex topics like implementation details of iterator blocks or generics covariance/contravariance, but if they did that it would not be a pocket reference any more, right? :) In other words, this book is great!
