Programming C#3.0 (LINQ, VS 2008, .NET 3.5)

I'm incredibly proud and pleased to announce the release of the fifth edition of Programming C#.

C#3.0 represents a significant maturation of the C# language adding numerous small new features, and a few major enhancements including LINQ.

This new edition was a tremendous opportunity to revisit every aspect of my book, and to bring it fully up to date,  to ensure that we were adding value, and telling the story of C#; never simply reproducing the documentation already available from Microsoft.

We also took the opportunity to demonstrate how C# supports WPF, ASP.Net and Ajax, as well as WinForms.

We spent months reviewing and rewriting every chapter, and we then subjected the book to the most extensive technical review I've ever been involved with.

Finally, I re-edited the entire book, to ensure that it speaks with a single voice, because I believe that a tutorial must ultimately be a conversation between one author and one reader.

This year I will also be producing two new books from O'Reilly Media: Programming .Net 3.5 and Programming Silverlight. More about those when they become available
