 The Definitive and Authoritative Technical Reference for C# January 30, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Co-authored by Anders Hejlsberg a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft and the chief architect of Microsoft C# and .NET Framework (as well as the chief engineer of Borland Delphi and the man behind J++, WFC, Turbo Pascal,…) this book is the definitive and authoritative technical reference for the C# language and an essential read for developers who want to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the language.
In the book you’ll find a well-structured language specification for the C# 1.0 as delivered in VS .NET 2K2 and 2K3, which goes way beyond the online documentation and covers the main new features of the C# 2.0 including Generics, Anonymous Methods, Iterators and Partial Types. All these are accompanied by annotations, reference materials, and useful code samples.
It's not a light read in any way, however you don’t have to be an experienced C# developer to benefit from the book. As long as you want to acquire a solid understanding of the C# and how to write managed code, this is perhaps the best choice. Also an online index - in addition to comprehensive printed index and reference tabs - makes search and navigation for a required topic very easy.

This book is a difficult read, the book is written by the guys who also wrote the language and compiler. It is thorough and informative but it is dry and difficult to read. This is definitely not one for the beginner and even then the intermediate may have some difficulties, so stay away if you are one of these. Otherwise, this book covers the concepts in detail and depth, so if you need to understand these then go ahead this book will certainly educate.
