Accelerated C# 2008 (Accelerated) (Paperback)

C# 2008 offers powerful new features, and Accelerated C# 2008 is the
fastest path to mastering them, and the rest of C#, for both experienced
C# programmers moving to C# 2008 and programmers moving to C# from
another object-oriented language. Many books introduce C#, but very few
also explain how to use it optimally with the .NET common language
runtime (CLR). This book teaches both core C# language concepts and how
to wisely employ C# idioms and object-oriented design patterns to
exploit the power of C# and the CLR. This book is both a rapid tutorial
and a permanent reference. You'll quickly master C# syntax while
learning how the CLR simplifies many programming tasks. You'll also
learn best practices that ensure your code will be efficient, reusable,
and robust. Why spend months or years discovering the best ways to
design and code C# when this book will show you how to do things the
right way, right from the start?

- Comprehensively and concisely explains both C# 2005 and C# 2008
features
- Focuses on the language itself and on how to use C# 2008
proficiently for all .NET application development
- Concentrates on how C# features work and how to best use them for
robust, high-performance code.

What you'll learn:

- How C# works with and exploits the CLR
- How to use arrays, collections, and iterators
- How to handle events with delegates and anonymous functions
- How to design and use generic types and methods
- How to thread efficiently and robustly
- How the new C# 2008 anonymous types, lamba expressions, and
extension methods work and how to use them.
