C# 5.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

C# 5.0 Unleashed is for anyone who wants to learn the C# programming language in depth, understanding how language features truly work. While giving you those insights, you learn where and how to use the features to design various kinds of software. This book not only teaches the language’s capabilities, it also looks behind the scenes to build a solid foundation to aid you in understanding the .NET platform as a whole.

Bart De Smet offers exceptional insight into the features of both the language and Microsoft’s broader framework. He doesn’t just cover the “what” and “how” of effective C# programming: He explains the “why,” so you can consistently choose the right language and platform features, maximizing your efficiency and effectiveness.

The early chapters introduce the .NET platform, the tooling ecosystem, and the C# programming language, followed by in-depth coverage of the C# programming language itself, with immediate application of language features. The last chapters give an overview of the .NET Framework libraries about which every good developer on the platform should know.

• Understand the .NET platform: its language support, libraries, tools, and more
• Learn where C# fits, how it has evolved, and where it’s headed
• Master essential language features including expressions, operators, types, objects, and methods
• Efficiently manage exceptions and resources
• Write more effective C# object-oriented code
• Make the most of generics, collections, delegates, reflection, and other advanced language features
• Use LINQ to express queries for any form of data
• Master dynamic programming techniques built on .NET’s Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR)
• Work with namespaces, assemblies, and application domains
• Write more efficient code using threading, synchronization, and advanced parallel programming techniques
• Leverage the Base Class Library (BCL) to quickly perform many common tasks
• Instrument, diagnose, test, and troubleshoot your C# code
• Understand how to use the new C# 5.0 asynchronous programming features
• Leverage interoperability with Windows Runtime to build Windows 8 applications

《C# 5.0 Unleashed》適合任何想深入學習C#程式語言的人，了解語言特性的真正運作方式。在提供這些見解的同時，您將學習在設計各種軟體時如何使用這些特性。這本書不僅教授語言的能力，還深入探討了.NET平台的背後，為您建立堅實的基礎，以幫助您全面理解整個.NET平台。

Bart De Smet提供了對語言特性和微軟更廣泛框架的特性的卓越見解。他不僅涵蓋了有效的C#程式設計的「什麼」和「如何」，還解釋了「為什麼」，讓您能夠始終選擇正確的語言和平台特性，最大化您的效率和效果。

早期章節介紹了.NET平台、工具生態系統和C#程式語言，接著深入探討了C#程式語言本身的特性，並立即應用這些語言特性。最後幾章概述了每個優秀平台開發人員都應該了解的.NET Framework函式庫。
