Book for C# like Exceptional C++

Question

Hi
Is there any book for C# like Exceptional C++, as good as it and with good chapters to learn C# in deep.
Thanks.

Answer 1

• Apress Pro C# 2010 is a very good C# book if you want to learn it in deep. Book's link is here.

• Accelerated C# 2010 is also good but it doesn't go as deep as the Pro one. Book's link is here.

• Apress Pro WPF in C# 2010 is also a greate book if you want to learn WPF professionaly. Book's link is here.

Answer 2

I would recommend the following books

• C# In Depth - There's a new version coming. See it here.
• C# In a Nutshell

And while not a C# book, I highly reccommend Effective Java. Many of the principles apply to C# as well.

Answer 3

First of all you should read Jeffrey Richter CLR via C#. It's the best book about .net platform, but not about C# language. But it really is a deep book and it's "must have book" for every .net programmer (you can make sure about it via simple google search:) ).

"Exception C++" books are really amazing series and there are no exact equivalent books about C#. But there are pretty good books with deep insight. Here are some of them:

C# In Depth - as name implies it is really deep. Most topics are covered very deeply and at the same time all topics are very comprehensive.

Effective C# is not as deep as Herb Sutter's books, but is pretty good for almost every, even experienced, developer.
