The C# Programming Language (Microsoft .Net Development Series) ReviewI think several of the previous reviews missed the gist of what this book is. It isn't "plagiarized", nor is it "classic" material - it simply IS a reprint of the current state of the Microsoft C# Language Specification in a snazzy new hard cover, thats all. You can download the C# Language Specification from the MSDN site if you want to take a look at precisely how the content of this book is organized. Microsoft Press first published the C# Language Specification back in 2001 based on the beta content. This is apparently just the current state of the specs, nothing fancy. Many of the examples used here are the same old examples used with the beta edition specs. This is pure techie reference material. Nothing more, nothing less.
So I gave it 3 stars. How do you rate a language specification document? It is what it is. Marketing hype about "destined to be a classic" (ya da ya da) is disingenuous, but charges of plagiarism are ill-considered also: its simply the same old spec document that Hejlsberg, et al, have been working on for the past four years. Just updated.
So if you want a nicely bound edition of the current spec buy the book...The C# Programming Language (Microsoft .Net Development Series) OverviewC# is the most exciting new language since Java. It is simple, modern, object oriented, and type-safe. It combines the high productivitiy of Rapid Application Development languages such as Visual Basic with the raw power of C++. While the specification is available online, many people find the printed version to be useful, as we have seen with The Java Language Specification and The C++ Annotated Reference Manual. Microsoft Press published the specification for the beta version of C#, and then revised that for version 1.0. The printed books, however, were nothing more than the spec printed out with covers bound on. This new version should sell much better, because of several factors.
