Book DescriptionC# is a modern, object-oriented language that enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the next-generation Microsoft .NET platform. Because of its elegant design, which combines the raw power of C++ with the simplicity of Visual Basic, C# is a great choice for architecting a wide range of components-from high-level business objects to system-level applications. Get a head start on developing in C# with this first printed look at the complete C# language specification. This MSDN guide includes the essential features and basic concepts of the C# language, plus in-depth analysis of the lexical structure of the language. It also provides details about types, variables, conversions, expressions, statements, namespaces, classes, structures, arrays, interfaces, enumerators, delegates, exceptions, and attributes; information on how C# simplifies coding by omitting pointers as a data type-or lets you get closer to the hardware by declaring and operating on pointers in unsafe code-a list of attributes used for creating programs that interoperate with COM programs, plus a list of other key references.
Other new and available .NET related titles in the MSDN series of substantial interest to professional developers include: • Web Applications in the Microsoft.NET Framework • Microsoft Visual Studio.NET • The Microsoft.NET Framework • Microsoft .NET Framework Developer Specifications

The content of this book ships with the MSDN library for Visual Studio.Net, at least most of it. The book drops out some of the holes in the MSDN library, which gives it a slight advantage.
As far as technical merit, this book rates above the rest of the C# books, with perhaps the exception of Gunnerson's book, which is sometimes a bit harder to read for understanding. Funny comment actually, since this is a spec doc and his book is supposed to teach.
Rating: - An Official Reference and not a Tutorial
There are a lot of C# books now available but they are introductions into .NET using C# or an comparation with other languages or simply a language tutorial. For an experienced developer such books are very time-consuming: He or she wants to read quickly the details about the language syntax, semantic and structure in a well-structured form.
The new Microsoft book is now the answer to such developers: It is a well-structured book about all details of the language, simply to understand for ... Read More
