## Description

C# 6.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference [Albahari, Joseph, Albahari, Ben] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. C# 6.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference

Review: Great resource for C# developer - Great resource for C# programming! Clear explanations, helpful examples. Really improved my C# programming skills for work. Highly recommend!
Review: Continues the tradition - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Nuts!
*by J***S on June 3, 2016*

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.
