C# 3.0 IN A NUTSHELL

THIS IS A CONCISE YET THOROUGH REFERENCE TO C# 3.0 PROGRAMMING AS IMPLEMENTED IN MICROSOFT'S VISUAL STUDIO 2008. "C# 3.0 IN A NUTSHELL" GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT, COVERING THE ESSENTIALS OF LANGUAGE SYNTAX AND USAGE AS WELL AS THE PARTS OF THE .NET BASE CLASS LIBRARIES YOU NEED TO BUILD WORKING APPLICATIONS. BUT UNLIKE EARLIER EDITIONS, THIS BOOK IS NOW ORGANIZED ENTIRELY AROUND CONCEPTS AND USE CASES, PROVIDING GREATER DEPTH AND READABILITY. C# 3.0 INTRODUCES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENTS YET TO THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, AND "C# 3.0 IN A NUTSHELL" DELVES DEEP INTO THE SUBJECT WHILE ASSUMING MINIMAL PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF C# - MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE WITH A REASONABLE BACKGROUND IN PROGRAMMING. IN ADDITION TO THE LANGUAGE, THE BOOK COVERS THE .NET CLR AND THE CORE FRAMEWORK ASSEMBLIES, ALONG WITH THE UNIFIED QUERYING SYNTAX CALLED LANGUAGE INTEGRATED QUERY (LINQ), WHICH BRIDGES THE TRADITIONAL DIVIDE BETWEEN PROGRAMS AND THEIR DATA SOURCES.FREE OF CLUTTER AND LONG INTRODUCTIONS, T
