Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 005 EAN: 9781590598849 Edition: 4 ISBN: 1590598849 Label: Apress Manufacturer: Apress Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 1370 Publication Date: November 12, 2007 Publisher: Apress Studio: Apress Editorial Review: Product Description: Book DescriptionThe first edition of this book was released at the 2001 Tech Ed conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Since that time, this text has been revised, tweaked, and enhanced to account for the changes found within each release of the .NET platform (1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and now 3.5). The last version, .NET 3.0, was more of an augmentative release, essentially providing three new APIs: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). As you would expect, coverage of the "W's" has been expanded a great deal in this version of the book from the previous Special Edition text. Unlike .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5 provides dozens of new C# language features and .NET APIs. This edition of the book will walk you through all of this new material using the same readable approach as was found in previous editions. Rest assured, you'll find detailed coverage of Language Integrated Query (LINQ), the C# 2008 language changes (automatic properties, extension methods, anonymous types, etc.) and the numerous bells and whistles of Visual Studio 2008. What you will learn
Who is this book for?If you're checking out this book for the first time, understand that it targets experienced software professionals and/or students of computer science (so please don't expect three chapters devoted to "for" loops). The mission of this text is to provide you with a rock-solid foundation to the C# 2008 programming language and the core aspects of the .NET platform (OOP, assemblies, file IO, Windows Forms/WPF, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, WCF,WF, etc.). Once you digest the information presented in these 33 chapters, you'll be in a perfect position to apply this knowledge to your specific programming assignments, and you'll be well equipped to explore the .NET universe on your own terms.

 Rating:  - Great book!This book is well written and understandable, and goes into significant depth. After reading the section on delegates, I finally understand what they are! Rating: - Well WrittenThis book is well written and explains the fundamental details of .NET platform. It also touches upon the new features of the language in .NET 3.5. A very nice coverage of LINQ as well. WPF could however have been a bit more detailed. Rating: - ExcellentI initially downloaded an ebook just to check out how this book is, and i wasnt disappointed. I ordered it a week ago and got it yesterday. I simply love it. Best book on c# Rating: - Best Book To Learn C#If only a few books could get six stars, this would be one of them! This book was easy to follow and with good, solid examples that could be typed in as you read along. The only problem is that now I expect too much from the other books that I read...no other book has been able to match this one! Rating:  - Almost Too MuchI needed to catch up on .NET 3 and 3.5, after reading reviews I selected this title. Being a very experienced developer I didn't want another start from the beginning and target everyone book. I have mixed opinion on the book, while there is a ton of info here, I find myself spending lots of time skipping around and over stuff. I was disappointed with such little part of this very large book actually being on the '.NET 3.5 Platform'. Experienced developers don't need a ... Read More |
