DESCRIPTION
C# has changed since it was first introduced—a lot! With generics, lambda expressions, dynamic typing, LINQ, iterator blocks and many other features, C# is more expressive than ever. However, you can't get the most out of the language unless you know it in depth.
C# in Depth, Second Edition concentrates on the high-value features that make C# such a powerful and flexible development tool. Rather than re-hashing the core of C# that's essentially unchanged since it hit the scene nearly a decade ago, this book brings you up to speed with the features and practices that have changed with C# from version 2.0 onwards.
This totally revamped Second Edition is bang up to date, covering the new features of C# 4 as well as Code Contracts. In it, you'll master the subtleties of C#, learning how to tame the trickier bits and apply them to best advantage. Along the way you'll find out how to avoid hidden pitfalls and go "behind the scenes" to ensure you don't get nasty surprises.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- All the new features of C# 2, 3 and 4
- Guidance and practical experience
- Not just the What and How, but the Why
Author and C# master Jon Skeet says that his heart belongs to C#—and it shows. This book is shot through with the same sort of depth and precision that has made Jon a folk legend on newsgroups and C# community sites like Stack Overflow.
This book is designed for readers who have learned the basics of C# and want to really sink their teeth into the good stuff!
About the Author
Jon Skeet is a Google software engineer working in London. A Microsoft C# MVP since 2003 and prominent C# community personality, Jon has gained deep insight into how languages are misunderstood and abused—as well as seeing what developers really need to know.
WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING
“This book hits it out of the park with fluency and short and concise periods that are dressed with just a little bit of amazing humor. It's truly a complete recipe for success.”
—Ferdinando Santacroce, DZone Reviewer
