Summary

C♯ in Depth is a completely new book designed to propel existing C♯ developers to a higher level of programming skill. One simple principle drives this book: explore a few things deeply rather than offer a shallow view of the whole C♯ landscape. If you often find yourself wanting just a little more at the end of a typical chapter, this is the book for you. Expert author Jon Skeet dives into the C♯ language, plumbing new C♯ 2 and 3 features and probing the core C♯ language concepts that drive them. This unique book puts the new features into context of how C♯ has evolved without a lengthy rehearsal of the full C♯ language. This is a book about C#2 and C#3 with only passing references to C#1.
