C# in a Nutshell
Peter Drayton, Ben Albahari, Ted Neward
Designed as a primary reference to be used daily, C# in a Nutshell also includes the essential background information to become productive quickly. Not a "how-to" book or a rehash of Microsoft's documentation, this book goes to the source of the language and APIs to present the content in a way that professional programmers will value above all other books. C# in a Nutshell is a comprehensive language reference and also presents the .NET Framework using C# examples. Additionally, it is an extensive and quick reference to the API, featuring the System namespace. Particularly useful are the many figures and tables that present the main features of the namespace. Every once in a while, a book becomes the de-facto standard for a technology, operating system, or programming language--which is exactly what C# in a Nutshell aims to do in a single straightforward and easy-to-use volume.
