Book recommendation:
CLR via C#
If you're a .NET developer, or would like to play one on TV; then this is one of those books that you must have. Nobody explains threads, memory
management and the CLR better than
Jeffery Richter.
CLR via C#
is about the
CLR and about the general types that interact closely with the CLR. Most application
books (Web Services, Web Forms, etc.) concentrate on the development platform from the top down, which means that they teach you how to build applications but do very little in
explaining how things work at the kernel level and why. This book offers information from the bottom up about the CLR's execution model, anonymous methods, nullable types, generics and more.
So rush out and buy this book so that the next time the topic of Asynchronous Operations comes up at the water cooler, you'll know all about it.
