DESCRIPTION
As the C# language grows and develops, it's becoming ever more expressive and powerful. Because it's the foundation for most .NET programming, you'll use C# whether you're slamming out a quick Windows 8 utility or digging into a complex distributed Windows application. You can do amazing things with generics, lambda expressions, dynamic typing, LINQ, iterator blocks, and other features-but first you have to learn C# in depth.
C# in Depth, Third Edition updates the best selling second edition to cover the new features of C# 5, including the challenges of writing maintainable asynchronous code. It preserves the uniquely-insightful look into the tricky areas and dusty corners of C# that only expert Jon Skeet can provide. In this third edition, you'll see the subtleties of C# programming in action, learning how to work with high-value features that you'll be glad to have in your toolkit. The book helps readers avoid hidden pitfalls of C# programming by providing crystal-clear explanations of "behind the scenes" issues.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Updated for C# 5
- Deep coverage of the new async/await feature
- How C# works and why it works that way
- A version-by-version approach that puts the evolution of C# into context
This book assumes you've already gotten started with C# and are hungry for more!
