Books on C#

C# is the premier language for developing applications based on Microsoft's .NET Framework. It is directly descended from C++ and is similar in look and feel to Java. It is a language that no professional programmer can afford to ignore.

Herb currently has two books on C#:

	C# 2.0: The Complete Reference This is Herb's classic C# reference updated and expanded to cover the latest release of C#. This lasting resource contains comprehensive coverage of all aspects of C#, including the keywords, syntax, and libraries. Of course, detailed coverage of the new C# 2.0 features, such as generics, nullable types, anonymous methods, partial class declarations, and the :: operator is included. Whether novice or pro, this is a book that should be on every C# programmer's book shelf.

	C# 3.0: A Beginner's Guide This is Herb's fast-paced, hands-on tutorial on C#, fully updated for C# 3.0. Using step-by-step instructions, carefully crafted explanations, and numerous examples, this is the perfect "first book" on C#. You'll begin by learning to create, compile, and run a C# program. Then it's on to data types, operators, control statements, methods, classes, and objects. You'll also learn about inheritance, interfaces, properties, indexers, exceptions, events, namespaces, generics, and much more. Of course, new C# 3.0 features such as Language-Integrated Query (LINQ), lambda expressions, and anonymous types are included. These are some of the most powerful and important features added to C# to date. They are redefining the very essence of C# programming. Simply put, no programmer can afford to be left behind by the C# 3.0 revolution.
