Reader Reviews
'Professional C# 2008' is one of those ginormous books that I usually (usually) complain is too big, too bloated, too MUCH but sometimes the exception is the rule and that is the case here. With 1750+ pages of material spread over 48 chapters and 3 appendixes, if you are looking for brevity and/or a simple learning book this is probably not for you. If you are looking for a complete solution on learning C# from top to bottom, keep reading because you are in the right place. Although it's lengthy, I feel a chapter listing is beneficial to detail out all the details of this book: 01. .NET Architecture 02. C# Basics 03. Objects and Types 04. Inheritance 05. Arrays 06. Operators and Casts 07. Delegates and Events 08. Strings and Regular Expressions 09. Generics 10. Collections 11. Language Integrated Query (LINQ) 12. Memory Management and Pointers 13. Reflection 14. Errors and Exceptions 15. Visual Studio 2008 16. Deployment 17. Assemblies 18. Tracing and Events 19. Threading and Synchronization 20. Security 21. Localization 22. Transactions 23. Windows Services 24. Interoperability 25. Manipulating Files and the Registry 26. Data Access 27. LINQ to SQL 28. Manipulating XML 29. LINQ to XML 30. .NET Programming with SQL Server 31. Windows Forms 32. Data Binding 33. Graphics with GDI+ 34. Windows Presentation Foundation 35. Advanced WPF 36. Add-Ins 37. ASP.NET Pages 38. ASP.NET Development 39. ASP.NET AJAX 40. Visual Studio Tools for Office 41. Accessing the Internet 42. Windows Communication Foundation 43. Windows Workflow Foundation 44. Enterprise Services 45. Message Queuing 46. Directory Services 47. Peer-to-Peer Networking 48. Syndication Subject matter is extremely thorough, and the writing is right to the point. Full of usable examples and traditional (good) Wrox design, you will be able to use chapters piece mail to get the information you are looking for or read the book from beginning to end if you want the whole experience. I feel that this book is best for marginal/new C# developers who aren't intimidated by a tome of this size. There is lots of great information within and you certainly learn what makes C# such a fantastic language to use in today's world. ***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Comment | | (Report this)
