Jon Skeet

I'll keep it simple and to the point:
Best take aways from this book (YMMV):
* Chapter 14, about DLR and the dynamic keyword: Probably the MOST comprehensive and detailed material available in any form book/article/blog/whitepaper. The amount of information Jon Skeet gives you in this chapter about the dynamic keyword is simply immeasurable.
* Chapter 9, about Lambda expressions and Expression trees: Using 'Func' in my code has never come to me naturally (never before, I should say). Now I know what I was missing!

I agree with a post made by another user here that the book is not for a novice, but the title of the book C# IN DEPTH, clearly indicates it.

Simple and effective language, clear and concise code samples make reading this book well worth it.… (mehr)

Jon Skeet does a great job of demonstrating the differences between the features of C# 1, 2 and 3. An abundant amount of detail is provided on the history of the features and how they evolved into C# 3. There are also some great analogies used throughout the book.

In my opinion this book is a perfect size. It is 392 pages, but really seems like more due to the amount of detail.

Some of the major items this book covers -

* Generics
* Delegates
* Anonymous Methods
* Partial Types
* Expression Trees

In closing, this is a great book for intermediate to advanced developers. I believe even beginners will pick up some great concepts.… (mehr)
