 Clear and well presented October 5, 2007

Clear and well presented book. Easy to read and seemingly covers most aspects. Experienced programmer but starting first C#.NET project and certainly best book I have purchased on this subject
 The title should be "2.0 with short look into 3.0" September 13, 2007

I have 4 books about .Net framework 2.0 and I even have a book about Windows Workflow Foundation, so I bought this book "judged by the cover" and title "Pro C# with .NET 3.0"
The truth is that only 17 percent of the book (194 pages of 1151) is concerning 3.0.
That's not good enough.
The reason for the 3 stars, is that the book is a very well written 2.0 book, but buy it only for that, and wait for the framework 3.5 books, with an greater insight the new technologies, to come.
 Just right September 13, 2007

Many of us IT professionals by these thick books for use as reference, without intending to work our way from cover to cover. As I read this book, it became clear I needed to read the entire volume. It is well-written, and stays on track and focused. I have learned many useful things that I will be able to use in my daily tasks.

A very thorough book, true to its title. The emphasis is on understanding better how .NET 3.0 brings some really cool paradigms to C#. It is important to distinguish such a book from one that may explain how .NET 3.0 is a major step forward, since as a C# developer, the advice contained in this book is far more relevant than a general discourse on .NET 3.0. If you are a honest-to-goodness C# developer and are interested in using significant new innovations in the language to be a better one, this is just the right book for you. The most impressive part is the ample use of IL snippets to explain core .NET concepts. Seeing through the veil of syntactic sugar is perhaps the best way to learn and understand a language. It is also worth mentioning that there is still a lot to be learned about .NET through the eyes of C#.
Very good foundation for C# and .NET June 15, 2007

I must admit that I have not examined any other texts of this type. However, I can say that this has proven to be an excellent all-in-one introduction to C# and the .NET platform. In fact, I first bought the C++/CLI version, then the C# with .NET 2.0 version, then the .NET 3.0 version just so I could have 1 reference book to carry around. I've even preordered the 3.5 version.
I have a great deal of experience with C++, but only recently began working with .NET and C#. This book teaches you the language and quite a bit about the Foundation Class Libraries, most application types, and even a bit about the Visual Studio environment. Unfortunately, it does not include a chapter on Windows Service applications.
I have many other books that go into deeper detail on, e.g., WCF, C#, etc., but this has proven to be a great introduction to each technology and useful reference. I have not found a need to look for other beginner/all-in-one books.
I would absolutely recommend that all .NET developers read CLR via C#, Second Edition (Pro Developer) as soon as you know a bit about .NET.
