An excellent introduction to the .net framework 3.5 and C# January 31, 2008
28 out of 29 found this review helpful
An update to the original Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform. The new chapters on Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Framework are great additions, but only give a brief introduction to these new technologies. More space is dedicated to both LINQ and WPF, in fact the majority of winForms development is devoted to the new WPF technology. As a professional web developer I would highly recommend reading this book, whilst it will only be of direct use to somebody new to C# and version 3.5 of the .net framework development the book can provide indirect guidance and assistance to the most seasoned developer.
Top Reference Book January 1, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I totally recommend this book to anyone interested in .Net development.
If you are a newcomer to the world of .Net development you probably won't find a better reference book to lead you through the many features of the platform. And if you are a seasoned .Net developer looking for an update on the new features of C# 2008 and the new platform, look no further, because this big book has got it all, from core programming constructs to the new LINQ APIs, lambda expressions, WCF, WPF (XAML) and without forgetting web progamming and Asp.net.
It goes beyond many other books by delving into CIL programming and exploring to a quite good level OOP with .Net and C#. And then there are five free chapters available online (since the book is already 1300+ pages without them) on remoting, pre-WCF web services and more about win forms development.
Buy it!! You won't regret having this item handy on your work desk.
#1 Bible of .NET Framework Fundamentals December 3, 2007
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
After the recent release of Visual Studio 2008 and .NET framework 3.5, I was eager to get my hands on a book that would allow me to quickly grasp all the new features in C# 2008. As always I look to the professional series on .NET from APress. This book is the first one I picked out because its previous edition covering C# 2005 and .NET Framework 3.0 is one of my favorite .NET books.
This new edition offers readers a good understanding of all the C# 2008 language features and solid fundamentals of LINQ. It also expands on many of the topics found in the previous edition. You'll find much more in-depth coverage of the .NET framework 3.0 material such WCF, WF and WPF. With a whooping 1370 pages divided into 33 chapters that cover various building blocks of .NET framework, this book is no doubt my #1 bible of .NET framework fundamentals. If this is not enough, you'll find an additional five chapters for free on APress site.
I highly recommand this book not only to professional .NET developers but also someone who's just starting on .NET.
