This book is about half the size of many of my other .NET programming books, and yet I've used about twice as many concepts from it than the bigger books. Computer books are just bloated today because publishers know we knowledge hungry programmers are drawn to the supersized books. Well, this book breaks the mold. It is clear, concise, potent and modestly sized. For example, chapter 11 on context and interception and the logging component example is awesome. If you want to take the next step as a .NET programmer, read this book.

I think of this book as a cookbook without the fat, or a concept book with some meat. The book discusses topics that are often glossed over in introductory books; exactly the types of things that a responsible .NET developer needs to understand to write efficient and stable .NET applications.

After a very long time I have come across a book that is really fabulous. Most of the programming books are too bulky and they waste all the pages in explaining only the documentation rather than the architecture. Most of this documentaion can be obtained on the web. This book explains the principles and the architecture behind all the commonly used .net concepts. I highly recommend this book. However, do not buy this book if you are planning to learn .net and have never used it before. This book caters to programmers who have had at least some programming experience in .net previously.

If you want a real reference book for .Net programming, this is it. He goes into depth in explaining how things work. Especially liked his chapter on Multithreading. It is a gold-mine for a professional C# programmer.

PS. The guy who gave this book a low rating, probably hasn't done anything sophisticated with .Net yet. Hey, its a reference book and his writing style is clear and to the point.

I have been developing software for 20+ years and am very particular about programming books. This book is my premier C# reference. Juval Lowy covers the topic thoroughly and offers best practices and many well written useful classes.
