As said before, this book isn't for begginers, this book isn't meant to be your first book in C# arena. But I think intermediate level of C# is enough to fully understand what's going on here. It's a must have for API designers and highly recommended for those who want to empower their skills of C#. The book covers topics like generics, threads, LINQ, magic yield keyword etc. Eg. it gives you some hint in uncertain situations...

With LINQ, I *finally* know why an implicitly typed local variable is better and the implications of not using IQueryable. A wealth of knowledge. After...

I've recommended in many classes I've taught and also to clients while consulting. More Effective C# enhances the original with C# 3.0 and LINQ additions. Bottom line: If you want to be a serious developer that continually hones his (or her) craft, then you need this book. Bill has...
