CLR via C# - 3rd edition On the Move

By now, I’ve finished all the pending reading I had and the choice for the next book to have was already made a long time ago: CLR via C# 3. I don’t know about you, but when I get a new book I feel happy. Having a paper book is a completely different story than having it in a PDF document.

Moving on, you might be wondering “why CLR via C#”? After all, I’ve read the CLR via C# 2.0 (more than once actually) and the .NET Framework didn’t changed that much. Well, from the CLR via C# 3 I’m not expecting a whole new world or 900pages of pure knowledge. I’m not even expecting it to be much different than the previous version. This new version of the book must (mandatory!) cover a lot of things that the 2nd version covered, and that’s fine with me. What I’m expecting is to relive a book and, on the way, find a few magic things that I’ve forgotten or others that I ignored in the previous version of the book. I even expect to find a few new magic tricks from the new version of the Framework. My expectation is that even though I’ve been working with .NET for the past 5 years, the book can still dazzle me.

I wonder if the Asynchronous Programming Model sounds nicer in this version of the book...
