Product Description:

C# 3.0 Unleashed

With the .NET Framework 3.5

Joe Mayo

Whether you need an approachable on-ramp to .NET or you want to enhance your skills, C# 3.0 Unleashed is a comprehensive, in-depth guide to the solutions you seek. You’ll learn to do more with the new tools that are available, including Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework Class Libraries. Throughout this book, you’ll get a practical look at what can be the most useful tools for any given task. You’ll also learn common traps to avoid and learn insightful tips that will save you time and help you be more productive.

C# 3.0 Unleashed contains complete coverage of the C# programming language. The author covers all the essential syntax, but keeps the focus on practical application. The chapters are arranged to take you step-by-step from the core of the C# language to elements of the .NET Framework, and further into advanced concepts on distributed n-tier Internet applications. Additionally, C# 3.0 Unleashed shows you how to debug, monitor, and scale enterprise applications, enabling you to use the C# programming language to ship the right code at the right time.

What’s included in this book:

• A complete reference for C# syntax, object oriented programming, and component programming with C#
• Comprehensive data coverage through ADO.NET and LINQ
• An introduction to UI technologies, including Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET Ajax, and Silverlight
• Coverage of traditional ASMX and WCF Web Services
• Coverage of multiple .NET technologies, including networking, instrumentation, interop, and multi-threading
• In-depth discussion of platform concepts including CLR, Garbage Collection, Type System, Assemblies, and Code Access Security
• Guidance on design and architecture for a big-picture view and essential help in piecing together all you’ve learned

Rating: - OMG, the errors
This book in no way deserves 5 stars. It is, in my opinion, quite well organized and a thorough introduction. But the editing errors are absurd. One reviewer called it "one or two per chapter", but he obviously lost track. It's literally at least every few pages. Incorrect/swapped diagrams. Code samples in the wrong place. Code samples with incorrect output. Chapter 5 on strings, the material is almost indecipherable until you realize that you need to simply ignore the code samples, because most ... Read More

Rating: - Good for intermediate programmers new to C#, useless for beginners
I am a 20-year veteran programmer who needs to transition from VB to C#. On the recommendation of a few peers, I bought this book.

My first observation: This book is obviously written by an expert who has no business attempting to write an introductory book. This book is NOT FOR BEGINNERS. If you are a beginner programmer and are contemplating buying this book to learn C#, save your money. The author simply makes far too many jumps and leaves too many gaps - skipping over things that ... Read More

Rating: - Not as impressive as the first 3 reviews say...
I bought this book thinking it would surpass C# Unleashed for 2005, but it didn't. The organization of this book didn't suit my learning style. The chapters are short, most programs are incomplete with only snippets shown, and with the size of the book (with 46 chapters), you would think that this book alone will teach you the ABCs of C#, no, I guess not. I still prefer the 2005 version as well as Jeff Suddeth's 2005 C# book. Jeff's book is compact and easy to read and straight to the point with good ... Read More

Rating: - A great book on C# and .Net programming in general!
This book not only covers all of the basics of C#, but also all of the new features in 3.0 and some very good information on best practices. He covers Design Patterns and N-Tier applications. If that weren't enough, it gives tons of information on all of the major .Net technologies like Lambda expressions, LINQ, ADO.NET, using XML, ADO.NET, Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, Ajax, Silverlight, WCF, Windows Services, Remoting, Web Services, WF, Threading, Localization, Globalization, P/Invoke and COM, Unsafe ...

Rating: - Great Resource for the New AND Experienced
Want to learn C#? This is an excellent place to start. Joe Mayo has outdone himself with a book that not only makes an excellent C# reference for veteran developers, but is also THE ideal learning tool for absolute beginners. The biggest hurdle for burgeoning developers is getting past all the new lingo, and most authors seem to blithely forget that fact. Not this one. Every time a new term pops up, it's carefully explained. Not just that "what" either, but the "why." I'm often disappointed by reference ... Read More
