Book Titles	Reviews
Murach's C# 2012 by Joel Murach, Anne Boehm	It is an excellent source for those looking to learn C# 2012. There is much included that will benefit existing C# programmers as well as those new to the language. The examples and projects in the book are relevant in a business setting and are complete projects. The book includes topics on database programming, necessary for most applications, object-oriented programming and an introduction on create apps for Window 8 and Windows Store.
MCSD Certification Toolkit (Exam 70-483): Programming in C# by Tiberiu Covaci, Rod Stephens, Vincent Varallo, Gerry O'Brien	This book covers all the key aspects of the C# language fundamental, it helps me understand delegation, anonymous method, Lamda expression, LINQ, etc. key concepts. I found it well written and easy to read, not like reading a technical reference book, such as C# in a nutshell, it is an excellent book.
The C# Player's Guide by Rb Whitaker	This has to be one of the finest books I have read about starting programming. I wanted to learn C# for a long time and tried dozens of books and video tutorials and none comes close to this book. It is useful for beginner as a study guide but it is also useful as a reference afterwards. Great book, great organization, short and concise.
C# 5.0 Unleashed by Bart De Smet	This book is an in depth look at the most recent version of C#. It is not just a language reference that explains the basics and syntax of the language, Bart De Smet also explains why. It starts out with a general introduction to the .NET platform and a history of C# versions explaining the evolutionary changes that brought us to c# 5. It goes on to explain the language basics in detail, always explaining so we know not just what is happening but why it behaves that way. From there we get to all the great features of C# we know and love, a chapter on OOP principles, generics and collections, LINQ, reflection, how to properly handle exceptions, threading and and section on one of the newest features of C# 5, asynchronous programming. As a developer who has worked with C# for many years this book still taught me a lot of great information, and helped me become familiar with the newest features of C#.
Adaptive Code Via C#: Agile Coding with Design Patterns and Solid Principles by Gary McLean Hall	This is an excellent resource for learning about the SOLID principles. The book begins with an overview of Scrum, unit testing and refactoring. Next it gives excellent explanations for each of the principles. I was very happy with these chapters which were well formatted, easy to understand and a joy to read. Finally the book concludes with samples that follow a team of developers through the agile process. These felt genuine, and helped reinforce the material. Great book for developers interested in making their future selves lives easier.
Programming C# 5.0: Building Windows 8, Web, and Desktop Applications for the .NET 4.5 Framework by Ian Griffiths	This book is the guide to C#, especially if you want to focus on the language. It contains examples, but also explains clearly each concept. It's thorough and detailed in many areas where others aren't. It isn't one of those books that focuses on forms and Visual Studio, this gives you a solid language foundation. You're going to find this book covers a very wide range of the language and lots of concepts. A must have if you're going to do any serious C# development.
C# in Depth, 3rd Edition by Jon Skeet	What I love about this book is that it not just teaches you entire toolset this language offers but the reasons behind the additions, modifications and transformations it goes trough in each version. Not a beginners book though, it does not contain any of the basics you'll need to know if it's your first programming language. Recommended for people who actually want to become C# gurus.
Pro C# 5.0 and the .Net 4.5 Framework by Andrew Troelsen	I really like this book! Let me tell you why. It covers a broad scope of the subject of C# with .NET, going into medium depth, and flowing nicely from chapter to chapter. I discovered that it provides both the framework and material for a good self-study program. The author communicates very clearly and provides many example projects with enough detail to let you either use them as tutorials or just read through them.
Head First C# (Head First Series) by Andrew Stellman, Jennifer Greene	The book makes learning C# extremely entertaining and most importantly for me, my retention of the subject matter has been better than with more traditional style text books. The labs are challenging yet very much doable with a little extra thinking on your own part. I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn C#.
C# 5.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference by Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari	This is a very good general read as well as desktop reference. Covers some new stuff, not so much focused on app-specific programming as 'language/library' feature coverage. It is the book I most often have open lately at work and several co-workers liked it and got copies.
