C# Essentials (2nd Edition)
by Ben Albahari

Book Description
Concise but thorough, this second edition of C# Essentials introduces the Microsoft C# programming language, including the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and .NET Framework Class Libraries (FCL) that support it. This book?s compact format and terse presentation of key concepts serve as a roadmap to the online documentation included with the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK; the many examples provide much-needed context.

This new edition has been updated to cover the final release of the C# language. In addition to overviews of C#, the CLR, and the FCL, this new edition of C# Essentials covers:
- Every C# language element and its syntax, in reference format, including new keywords
- The major C# datatypes, with code examples
- Common C# programming tasks
- Interoperation with legacy Win32 APIs and COM components, and the use of C/C++ style pointers within the managed context of the CLR
- Common development issues

C# Essentials is an easy way for experienced programmers to evaluate and get up to speed quickly on the language best suited to developing web applications and services on the new Microsoft .NET platform.

If you want to learn Microsoft’s new C# programming language quickly, you can perhaps do no better than C# Essentials, a compact and extremely intelligent guide.
While most of today’s programming books seem to be trying to outdo one another in sheer page count, this one bucks the trend with an extremely concise–yet entirely thorough–treatment of C#. This is an efficiently packed, language-based guide that’s perfect for those with some previous object-oriented programming experience. It covers all C# language keywords, with particular attention to class design constructs. Short code excerpts, rather than full-length programs, are used to illustrate every feature of the language, from basic design types to data types, class design constructs (including all the details of inheritance), and the basics of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). You’ll learn how to model classes correctly using the most advanced features (such as reflection and attributes) that help make C# particularly powerful and elegant.

Advanced topics include a guide to making Win32 API calls from within C#, new threading options, and how to interoperate with legacy DLLs and COM objects in C#. At just 200 pages, this text still manages to cover a lot of ground with the specifics of C#, and with many of the features that help give C# its personality as a programming language.

Admirably concise, yet filled with expert knowledge for exploiting both basic and advanced features, this title earns high marks as a tutorial for learning Microsoft’s latest programming language. It’s sure to be a useful choice for any experienced programmer tackling C# for the first time. –Richard Dragan
