As C# is a complex language, there are lots of things that we, C# programmers, need to know when writing some code. With so many things to learn and so many features available, how can we remember all the syntax and all the details of everything in C#? The answer is: We can't. Everytime we forget something, we go look for help in the internet, don't we?
So this book is pretty much of this: Why search the internet and waste a lot of your precious time visiting tons of websites that doesn't have the information that you need until you find a website that has something to help you, if you have a book that you can carry everywhere and search for all those things in a very quick way?
Although this book explains most of the features to you, I don't recommend it for those who want to learn C#. This book is a great help for those who already know C# and want to have a reliable reference or even get a closer look at the new features in C# 3.0.
If you don't know any of the new features in C# 3.0, or if you don't know C#, I recommend that you read a book that describe the features in a more detailed way, like C# 3.0 in a Nutshell.
"Coming from another language it would serve as a better entry to C# than any of the "My First C#" books as it focuses on the language and how its syntax and features are to be used than how to program. It will definitely be staying on my desk within easy arm's reach for future projects."
