Product Description
Product Description
C# is an object-oriented programming language that is similar to the Java programming language in many respects but more comprehensive and different in most details. This book gives a concise description of C#. It is intended as a guide for readers who know Java and want to learn C# and as a quick reference for anyone who wants to know C# in more detail than that provided by a standard textbook. The final chapter of C# Precisely summarizes the differences between C# and Java.C# Precisely is one of the first books on C# to cover version 2.0. It presents the entire C# 2.0 programming language, including generics, iterators, and anonymous methods. It excludes most of the extensive Microsoft.NET framework class libraries except threads, input/output, and generic collection classes. The book shows general rules on left-hand pages, with corresponding examples on right-hand pages. All examples are fragments of legal C# programs. The complete, ready-to-run example programs are available at the book's Web site.

Concise,
By
This review is from: C# Precisely (Paperback)
As the title suggests, it's concise. When I first bought it a few years ago I remember liking it a lot, as it gives you the facts without any of the long-winded marketing, stories and analogies that plague regular software books. Reading it again recently, I found it a little bit too terse (the authors make Stroustrup look verbose sometimes). It would for example have been useful to have had an introductory paragraph on each language feature to say why it was in the language / what it was for. But it still got me back upto speed on C# in under a day. The material on time/space characteristics of the different generic containers is excellent and is worth the price of the book on its own. And it's a very useful to see (i) what's available in the language; and (ii) as a reference. So, overall, a shame that there isn't an updated version of the book for C# 3.5 or 4.0.

Outstanding !,
By Dr. Jinghui Chen "Principal Engineer, Softwar... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# Precisely (Paperback)
Instant classic!
This is THE best computer language book I have ever seen in my life! This book's achievement is unprecedented. Anders Hejlsberg used 432 pages to describe C#, Jesse Liberty spent 672 pages to achieve the same with better accessibility. Make a guess, what are the minimum pages to achieve the same goal? 182 pages!!! 182 pages achieved even higher level of accomplishment than 400-700 pages! You can't find any useless or meaningless word in this book. If a word is taken from the book, it's not complete. If a word is added, it's too much. I read the book as if I were reading a collection of beautiful poems, I almost forgot it's a computer book. The language is so fluid that you only feel perfection and harmony, the descriptions are so accurate that it reaches the level of precision as mathematics. After I finished reading, I noticed that the author lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am really astonished by his mastery of English the same as his mastery of C#. Another excellence of this book I'd like to mention is that: When the book is opened, the left hand pages give you high precision descriptions of C# constructs and logic, the examples are given on the right hand pages to support and clarify these concepts. Highly recommended, software engineers and computer scientists will be benefited from this book on multiple aspects. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

for mostly computational coding in C#; no graphics,
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# Precisely (Paperback)
This book has the same style as Sestoft's companion text, "Java Precisely". Concise explanations, that are perhaps best suited to a programmer already experienced in other languages, but who now wants to learn C#.
You can rapidly pick up the essence of computational coding in C# using the book. The major classes are well treated. Be aware however that for making widgets, you really should consult another text. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars
Clear and concise. Just perfect.,
By Szymon Rozga - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C# Precisely (Paperback)
A great reference to the C# language, and the fact that almost every (if not all) the left page has an english description of the features and the right page a code example of tha feature. This makes using this book as a reference awesome. Moreover, the examples are very simple and to the point. Excellent resource.
