C# in Depth Book

C# has changed significantly since it was first introduced. With the many upgraded features, C# is more expressive than ever. However, an in depth understanding is required to get the most out of the language.

C# in Depth, Second Edition concentrates on the high-value features that make C# such a powerful and flexible development tool. Rather than re-hashing the core of C# that's essentially unchanged since it hit the scene, this book brings readers up to speed with the features and practices that have changed with C# from version 2.0 onwards.

This completely revamped Second Edition is extremely current, covering the new features of C# 4 as well as Code Contracts. Readers will master the subtleties of C#, learning how to tame the trickier bits and apply them to best advantage. Insider tips teach readers how to avoid hidden pitfalls. This book is designed for readers who have learned the basics of C#.
