Accelerated C# 2005 teaches you both how to use core C# language concepts and wisely employ C# idioms and object-oriented design patternsto exploit the power of C# and the common language runtime. Youll quickly master C# syntax while learning how the CLR simplifies many programming tasks. Youll also learn best practices that ensure your code will be efficient, reusable, and robust.
This book is the fastest path to C# mastery for anyone familiar with object-oriented programming. Many books introduce C#, but very few also explain how to use it optimally with the .NET CLR. Why spend months or years discovering the best ways to design and code C#, when this book will show you how to do things the right way, right from the start?

Rating: - Nice but not what I expected
I thought this book was for a developer wanting to 'accelerate' his existing c# skills into the 'senior' level. This book is intended for programmers that are coming from another OO language such as Java or C++
I think even by not reading this book, those programmers could easily learn c# because this book was very elementary IMO.
I would not recommend this book to anyone for any reason :(
Rating: - OK, an "advanced" book, then why not read ECMA C# specifications directly?
First of all, this is NOT a book for C# beginners, period. It is not even a book for someone has zero knowledge of .NET.
This is an "advanced" book for expereienced programmers, prefereably, coming from C++ or Java, or Delphi world.
My major problem with this book is that, the book uses minimal code to aid the flow of description, while the author employed large chunk of paragraphs without ANY simple, easy-to-catch BULLETING and code snippets to illustrate what he is ... Read More

I have to say I am VERY careful about buying books these days now. Back in the day I was book crazy. But these days I make sure that I buy quality books. This is one of them.
What amazes me about this one (I initial looked at this one because I saw it recommended in MSDN Magazine) is that for such a small book, it pinpoints the most important relevant information and communicates it so well, that I feel people who do not know OOP at all would become at least very understanding of it ...

It is not often that someone who can rightly be said to be a true master of his or her field is gifted as well with the ability to write clearly about it in an instructive manner. Trey Nash, however, is just such a person. His mastery of the subject is unquestionable, and the clarity with which he is able to convey solid instruction will, as it did for me, make crystal clear to you a large number of highly abstract and hitherto hard-to-understand concepts. Many developers who have worked with certain ... Read More
Rating: - Accelerated My C# Skills!
Hands down my favorite C# book this year. This book is not an introduction to C#. It is not a "bible" nor is it a "cookbook of C# recopies. Accelerated C# 2005 by Trey Nash is a concise map that navigated this reader safely (and enjoyably) through C# territory. Nash is an excellent guide, providing relevant information in a clear, easy-to-understand style.
At 400 pages, this is very succinct for a "computer book". Of all the C# books I have read in the past year, this one has helped me most ... Read More
