Fantastic book. Unlike many on the topic which go over the very beginnings of the language found on any online tutorial or introductory book, this book hits the ground running. Yes, it goes over loops and keywords, but only to the extent to tell you they exist, and assumes that you know the basics of programming.
Professional C# 2012 and .NET 4.5 is a comprehensive guide for experienced programmers wanting to maximize these technologies.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Creating a DLL
- Modifying Windows Registry with code
- Command Line Compilation
- Windows 8 App Development
- Covers challenging .NET features including Language Integrated Query (LINQ), LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, WCF, WPF, Workflow, and Generics
- Puts the new Async keyword to work and features refreshers on .NET architecture, objects, types, inheritance, arrays, operators, casts, delegates, events, strings, regular expressions, collections, and memory management
- Explores new options and interfaces presented by Windows 8 development, WinRT, and Metro style apps
- Includes traditional Windows forms programming, ASP.NET web programming with C#, and working in Visual Studio 2012 with C#
and the list goes on. Not all the way through the book yet, but am thoroughly pleased, as I have read numerous books on the topic and they are either:
A) Too advanced for an undergraduate student of Computer Science
B) Too focused on a NOOB perspective.
