Book recommendation for C# + Generics + Lambda Expression

Question

Can somebody recommend me book for C# 4.0 which covers Generics and Lambda Expression (scary things) I seen this but I am not sure which one covers Generics and Lambda in depth.

Thanks,

Answer 1

C# in depth by Jon Skeet.

It gives a historical view of both generics and lambda expressions (.NET 1.0 to current), so one can follow the steps of how these features evolved to what they are today.

The book discusses other items as well, and the next edition is coming up (and will have 4.0 information).

Answer 2

I like this very much: C# 4.0 in a Nutshell.

Answer 3

CLR via C# - http://www.amazon.co.uk/CLR-via-3rd-Jeffrey-Richter/dp/toc/0735627045

Has a chapter on generics, but not much even so an all round great book, get it anyway! :p

Answer 4

My personal favorite :

Oreilly's "Programming C# 4.0"

And as of "in depth", nothing can beat "the specs"

Answer 5

"C# in Depth" by Jon Skeet is excellent, as is "Essential C# 4.0" by Mark Michaelis. (I was technical editor of both.)

They are both well-named books; Jon's book really does go into rather a lot of depth, and Mark's book really does give you the essentials you need to know.
