C# 7.0 in a Nutshell

Boy was I surprised by this book. The name suggested to me that it was going to be a pocket-sized book with just the good stuff but it turned out to be biggest book on my shelf. That's a pretty big nutshell!What I would say though is this book has been superseded by C# 8.0 in a Nutshell by the same authors so unless you can find this for a really good deal it may not be worth buying anymore. In fact, I brought this for around £35 and then purchased C# 8.0 in a Nutshell in a Humble Bundle deal for around £10 with a bunch of other books. I doubt it'll be that price again but definitely shop around. At the time of writing this book is going for £63.99 (!!!) on Amazon and C# 8.0 is going for £45.99 so maybe think twice...The book generally starts by covering basics of C# and it's syntax before going into Advanced C# and then going off into the .NET Frameworks - Date Times, Enums, Linq, File I/O, Networking, Serialization, it's all there. However if it's your first programming book, stay away. It's designed for people who have some experience in mind. Ideally you want to be writing some code before you start dissecting this book.

Great Oreilly product in their traditional format. Wish there was a digital download version.

Todo un libro de referencia.

Aus der Nussschale ist mit 1072 Seiten ein Tanker geworden. Den Albahari Brüdern gelingt es jedoch den hohen Standard früherer Auflagen zu halten. Es ist sicherlich die beste und detaillierteste Einführung in C#. Wobei man aber - wenn man ein Windows-Desktop Programm schreibt - noch weitere Unterlagen braucht. Es wird u.A. das WPF und ADO Framework nicht behandelt. Das würde jeden Rahmen sprengen. Die Autoren beschränken sich richtiger Weise auf die Sprachkonstrukte und die unmittelbaren "System-Libraries".Ich bin ein großer Go-Fan. Für ein Projekt muss ich jedoch eine Open-Access-Datenbank lesen. Die Unterstützung dafür ist in C# wesentlich besser. Ich habe schon viel in Java programmiert. Die Sprachen sind ähnlich, aber C# spricht mich mehr an. Im Gegensatz zu einem 2-Sterne Reviewer hat sich mein Buch - obwohl ich fleissig darin lese und nachschlage - bisher nicht aufgelöst.Mein Urteil weicht bei anderen Programmierbüchern oft weit vom allgemeinen Konsensus ab. Bei diesem bleibt mir aber gar nichts Anderes übrig als es ebenfalls mit 5 Sternen zu bewerten. Es ist einfach gut.

Sono a più di metà di questo testo e devo dire che è davvero ben fatto. L'esposizione è chiara e succinta, gli esempi brevi e focalizzati sulla funzionalità che si vuole spiegare. Il libro rigurda solo la parte detta Core Framework (o BCL base class library) delle librerie che compongono .NET Framework e .NET Core. Anche le librerie UWP e Xamarin sono menzionate qua e la ma non coperte nel dettaglio. Nonostante il libro non riguardi l'intero Framework dopo averlo letto non ho trovato alcun problema a utilizzare e sfruttare al meglio anche le varie applicazioni contenute nel Freamework come WPF, ASP.NET, Windows Form, ecc.Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia imparare il linguaggio C#, il libro è in inglese ma non serve essere madre lingua.Il linguaggio è accademico e basta avere un inglese scolastico per capirlo senza dover consultare di continuo un dizionario.
