As a tailor-made new programming language for Microsoft .NET Framework, C# (C Sharp) has both the powerful functions of C/C++ and user-friendly characteristics of Visual Basic. And now, it has evolved to 6.0, with various features emerging in endlessly. While it's rare to find C# teaching materials that can stand up to scrutiny on the market, and this might be because the reference on MSDN has been pretty comprehensive.

On the other hand, as one of the most popular C# books on Amazon, C# in a Nutshell fused the author's many years of research and practical experience in software development and C#. So, not only is it very suitable to be a self-study tutorial for C# technology, but also can be seen as a rare reference book for intermediate and senior C# technicist. For this, just from its catalog we can see the author's such rich experience and so thorough word editing & processing work.

For a programming book's content, AppNee thinks it's not the more comprehensive and deeper the better. When C# upgraded to 3.0, it made the thickness of C# in a Nutshell shoot up, because the things covered is really too much. But the valuable is, in 1000+ pages of content of the whole book there is not any redundant parts, and all the code examples are very accurate and appropriate. In conclusion, C# in a Nutshell is a rare and definitive C# guide, also one of the best books for learning C#.
