Product Description
“Shining a bright light into many of the dark corners of C# 3.0, this book not only covers the ‘how,’ but also the ‘why,’ arming the reader with many field-tested methods for wringing the most from the new language features, such as LINQ, generics, and multithreading. If you are serious about developing with the C# language, you need this book.” –Bill Craun, Principal Consultant, Ambassador Solutions, Inc. “More Effective C# is an opportunity t… More >>
This book makes assumptions that you know a lot of the ins and outs of the language and is not setup such that you can read through the material from cover to cover. The author is knowledgeable and the book is best used as a reference book when you have specific questions or concerns.

If you plan to buy this book, look for something else. This on is the worst book I’ve read on programming. It’s not consistent, somitimes there are too many details, sometimes there are very few. As reader I loose interest in this book very soon.

This book has a few useful tips, but many of them are so obscure that you would probably never use them.
Rating: 3 / 5
While the book may be very effective for advanced users, it is of little use to starting to intermediate level programmers. The title say there are 50 specific way to improve your c#, I found none. Admittedly, I have only working with C# for a year, but I would have thought that at lease one item would apply to me.
Spend your money on another book unless you are alot further along than I am.

Maybe I’ve read too many books on generics and C# 3.0 already. I really like the original book in this series. This book is OK. I see that the author is pushing for us to use the new features of 3.0. However I believe that linq operaters and constructs should stay with linq. I don’t want to use ‘var’ outside of linq. Some of the topics in this book are really work reading. I still recommend this book but make sure you read the first book.
