“Over the years that I’ve spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language. I’m happy to say that this fourth edition of Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 platform is as close to a ‘final release’ as I’ve come yet!”
Whether you’re moving to .NET for the first time or you’re already writing applications on .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0, Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition will provide you with a solid grounding in this new technology and serve as a comprehensive reference throughout your coding career:
Explore five new chapters of content—including the grammar of the common intermediate language (CIL), .NET generics, and object serialization services.
Discover all the new .NET 3.5 features—nullable types, delegate covariance, ASP.NET 2.0 master pages, the new Windows Forms &lquo;Strip” controls, and much more.
Get a professional foothold—targeted to appeal to experienced software professionals and/or graduate students of computer science (so don’t expect three chapters on iteration or decision constructs!).
Gain a rock-solid foundation in programming using C#.
Get comfortable with all the core aspects of the .NET platform—including assemblies, remoting, Windows Forms, Web Forms, ADO.NET, XML web services, and much more.
Once you’ve digested the information contained in the 25 chapters of this 1000+ page book, you'll be ready to apply this knowledge to your specific programming assignments and well equipped to explore the .NET universe on your own.
