Book Reviews of Accelerated C# 2008 (Accelerated)

Book Review: Step Up Your Skill A Notch With Accelerated C# 2008
Summary: 5 Stars

This book briefly covers the basics and then shows more advanced ways of applying the basics to the problem at hand. I felt like reading this book was worth my time as I began to understand how a seasoned C# programmer thinks when solving a problem. Trey Nash is trying to impart tidbits of experience he has gained in the trenches of writing complex multi-threaded apps. He brings in a lot of object and pattern theory by showing both the "wrong" and "right" way to do something. This clearly shows the benefits of using patterns and good object theory when constructing applications.

Many books introduce C#, but if you don't have the time to read 1200 pages, Accelerated C# 2008 gives you everything you need to know about C# 2008 in a concentrated 500 pages of must-know information and best practices.

C# 2008 offers powerful new features, and Accelerated C# 2008 is the fastest path to mastery, for both experienced C# programmers moving to C# 2008 and programmers moving to C# from another object-oriented language.

You’ll quickly master C# syntax while learning how the CLR simplifies many programming tasks. You’ll also learn best practices that ensure your code will be efficient, reusable, and robust.
