5.0 out of 5 stars Continues the tradition
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016

I've had several of these nutshell books, and all were well written. This continues the good trend.

I'm currently doing java at work (more fun than SharePoint web parts), but am starting on a home project with vs 2015 community and the latest frameworks and components and want a handy reference to speed up knowing the changes from earlier c#. I've watched enough channel 9 videos to know what to expect.

The nutshell book, flipping through it, had the same style and massive well organized content I expected. This isn't a book to read from end to end like a few advanced JavaScript books I just finished. It's a defence book that goes into significant detail on certain topics, and it's organized by the mind of things the language does, including things actually fine by the grandkids but implemented by the language. LINQ and the finer points of generics regarding inheritance are good examples of what I mean. Those are language specific but really choke from the .NET framework and can't be explained in books that build an application and talk to your add they do so.

I consider myself well versed in C# and it is my favorite language. To keep challenging myself, I like to read books from time to time so I don't grow arrogant. This book humbled me (which is a good thing!) If you like C# and swimming in the deep end, highly recommended! If you are newer to the language, I would start with something lighter. Impressive writing. Definitely a long read, but well worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Huge Nuts!
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
Let's be clear, this is a book on C# 6 and not .NET Framework 4.6. On the cover it states the book covers .NET Framework 4.6 but it only gives a very general overview of it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because it means the lion share of this huge 1000+ page nutshell is dedicated to the C# language. In addition to an overview section, many of the individual sections cover elements of .NET Framework 4.6 but not deeply.

Other books that cover .NET in greater detail, in addition to covering C#, are far too big. For example, the Apress book "C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework" by Andrew Troelsen is a 1700+ page book that weighs 5.5 pounds!! This O'Reilly Nutshell book goes deeper into C# than the aforementioned tome. C# and .NET are both deep subjects that should be covered in separate books.

One reason I often shy away from the O'Reilly 'Nutshell' series of books is because the pages are smaller and as a consequence, the font is also small. It's not easy to read code when it's printed this small.

This book also has a very handy pocket reference that's sold separately here on Amazon. I keep the full length book at home and take pocket reference to work.

This is one of the best code reference books I have ever owned. It is very well written and has tons of useful information in it. The authors also wrote LinqPad, so they know their stuff. This has been invaluable for writing C# code and working with MVC and Linq. Buy this book you won't regret it!

This is the third version of C# in a Nutshell that I've purchased. The Albahari's do a great job of concisely explaining all aspects of the latest version of C#. Sure the Internet has lots of snippets of how to do things in C#, but this is a great go-to source for not only those, but why things work that way, and often recommendations of which of the many different ways to do something is preferable.

This really gets right to the point in explaining the concepts you may be new to or have forgotten due to a lack of practice. Its a great book for individuals with basic understanding of computer programming but, would not recommend it for people who want to teach themselves computer programming. For people who are new to computer programming you should try out the Head First books.

It has a broad coverage of C# related to .NET. Despite its size, it deserves the qualification Ïn a Nutshell" I recommend this for experienced C# developers, but not so much for beginners.

I got this older version, for specific reasons.
Every version is great, even though its quite pricey when within a couple of years of release and still more expensive that what you'd think even after 3 years.

Recomiendo a cualquier interesado en aprender mas a fondo que es y como funciona ese lenguaje llamado C#.
El libro si te pide que tengas conocimientos de programación previos, pero con un curso básico es suficiente.
También es muy bueno para programadores experimentados que quieren completar sus conocimientos (los temas que toca son muchos y con buen detalle).
