When you need to look up the essentials of C# 4.0 language syntax and usage, or locate key information in the .NET base class libraries, this concise reference helps you find it quickly. C# 4.0 in a Nutshell thoroughly covers C# 4.0 programming as implemented in Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010, including new CLR 4.0 features such as dynamic typing and the PLINQ/TPL threading libraries. Free of clutter and long introductions, this book provides a complete map of C# 4.0 knowledge in a succinct and unified style:
Opening chapters concentrate purely on C#, starting with the basics of syntax, types and variables, and finishing with advanced topics such as unsafe code and preprocessor directives
Later chapters cover the core .NET 4.0 Framework, including such topics as LINQ, XML, collections, I/O and networking, memory management, reflection, attributes, security, threading, application domains, and native interoperability
C# 4.0 in a Nutshell ideal for any experienced programmer, whether you're new to C# or familiar with previous versions of the language.

"a pleasure to read, lots of useful info" - by oldbrazil on 29-JAN-2010
Reviewer Rating:
I did not read the whole book yet, but I already can tell this a very good book. It explains clearly advanced topics while keeping the needed precision: it does not try too hide complexity and do not get you lost in false or useless explanations.
The chapter about "Types" gives precise definitions of what a "type", a "variable" (...) are. This could seem obvious or too detailed. In fact, it prevents you to mix up things when dealing with more advanced subjects.
I also read the part about "delegates" and "events" : I've never seen it better explained as in this book. The text is clear, concise, and still manage to give you the details about how things work.
I'm confident than the rest of the book will be equally useful to me.
