Product Description:
Updated for .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008, this book is the ultimate guide to C# 2008 and its environment. Beginning with a look into the architecture and methodology of .NET, the team of superlative authors explains why the C# language must be considered in parallel with the .NET Framework. Completely new chapters on LINQ, SQL, ADO.NET entities, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation, arrays, and event logging deliver essential information to help you gain a clear and thorough understanding of all that C# 2008 has to offer.

First note that there are big changes in 2008 version of the language as compared to 2005. This book is prefect for all levels of programming skills. With over 1700 pages its a lot to read and learn but that only refelects the wide capabilities of the C# language as a whole. The book has stuff for both the beginner to the advanced. After you are done with the basics i suggest creating tasks you want to do that will make everday things more convenient for you and endeavor to program these. Great way to prevent boredom.

I was looking for a solid "all in one" reference book on C# and .Net3.5 additions. This book came head and shoulders above everything else out there. This book has complete coverage of the basics and great coverage of new additions. It even has a chapter on Peer-to-Peer Networking (didn't know it was added until I read this book). Some books on C# focused only on the new stuff or limited their scope otherwise. This book is my main table reference. It is not perfect, but because it covers most of the framework and C# syntax if it doesn't have the exact answer for a particular question, there is enough info to really narrow the focus of the subsequent step of more in depth research.

This book is the ultimate C# reference, even if you are not new to C#. Just read throught the chapters you are interested in and you are ready to get started with your project.
Thanks Christian!!!

Book is a decent introduction to C# although at 1782 pages a bit of a slog. It doesn't cover enough detail to be good reference, however. I find I need to look at online documentation for even some simple issues. I am an experienced programmer, so I know what I want a language to do. What I am interested in is "how do I do what I want to do?". This book has not proven to be good at answering these kind of questions. But in its defense, I have not found other books to be better - even highly recommended ones.

It is good a book, in my opinion better than most in that area, but don't expect miracles.
I find it very useful, but some things could be done better.
