Video Description

"The definitive what, how, and why of C#."
Eric Lippert, Coverity

If you're a .NET developer, you'll use C# whether you're building an advanced enterprise application or just slamming out a quick app. In C# 5 you can do amazing things with generics, lambda expressions, dynamic typing, LINQ, iterator blocks, and other features. But first you have to learn it in depth. C# in Depth, Third Edition has been thoroughly revised to cover the features of C# 5, including the subtleties of writing maintainable asynchronous code. You'll see the power of C# in action, learning how to work with high-value features that you'll be glad to have in your toolkit. And you'll learn to avoid hidden pitfalls of C# programming with the help of crystal clear explanations of "behind the scenes" issues.
Inside:

  • Updated for C# 5
  • The async/await feature
  • How C# works and why
This book/course assumes you've digested your first C# book and are hungry for more!

Jon Skeet is a Senior Software Engineer at Google, and a highly visible participant of newsgroups, user groups, international conferences, and the Stack Overflow Q&A site. Jon spends much of his day coding in Java, but his heart belongs to C#.

The best source for learning C# language features.
Andy Kirsch, Venga

Took my C# knowledge to the next level.
Dustin Laine, Code Harvest

A must-have book that every .NET developer should read at least once.
Dror Helper, Better Place

Easily the best C# reference I've found.
Jon Parish, Datasif
