Since its debut in 2000, C# has become a language of unusual flexibility and breadth, but its continual growth means there’s always more to learn. Organized around concepts and use cases, this updated edition provides intermediate and advanced programmers with a concise map of C# and .NET knowledge. Dive in and discover why this Nutshell guide is considered the definitive reference on C#. Get up to speed on the C# language, from the basics of syntax and variables to advanced topics such as pointers, operator overloading, and dynamic binding Dig deep into LINQ via three chapters dedicated to the topic Explore concurrency and asynchrony, advanced threading, and parallel programming Work with .NET features, including XML, regular expressions, networking, serialization, reflection, application domains, and security Delve into Roslyn, the modular C# 7.0 compiler-as-a-service Review: Content good, format bad, really bad. - tl;dr I'm giving this 5 stars for the content in consideration of the authors. As for the Kindle format and O'Reilly's decision to not sell PDFs ZERO stars. Long story: I need to learn C# so decided this book would be good. Upon heading over to O'Reilly I discovered the uproar over their decision a few months ago to stop selling PDFs. WOW! - I some response to the uproar about them looking into providing PDFs as part of their Safari Subscription service - but as I couldn't find a link to purchase the PDF and I'm not interested in a $400 subscription I decided to try the Kindle version. I've got at least a hundred Kindle books in my library - all non-technical book - e.g. novels, non-fiction etc. I love the Kindle platform. But as I have discovered it has problems with technical books. The first problem is that it does not allow you to scroll pages. As a programmer you often need to see ON ONE SCREEN a section of code. Unfortunately, with Kindle (I'm using kindle on a mac) you can only see page n or page n+1. You cannot view the bottom half of page n and the top half of page n+1. For a general reading book this is not a problem. For studying code or long tables it is frustrating. Second problem is with cut and paste. Programmers often read parts of technical books and then copy some section of the code from the book and then paste it into their development environment (e.g vi / Vistual Studio / whatever). Unfortunately this simply does not work as expected. Here's an example line code as displayed in the Kindle reader: Task.Run (() => Console.WriteLine ("Foo")); Here's how it ends up pasted (either into a terminal window with vi running Visual Studio) Task.Run (() = > Console.WriteLine (" Foo")); Albahari, Joseph; Albahari, Ben. C# 7.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference (Kindle Locations 16438-16439). O'Reilly Media. Kindle Edition. Notice the additional line showing the author, title, etc. Now that is annoying but I can relatively easily delete that line and go about my work. The more insidious problem is the insertion of a space inserted between the "=" and the ">" characters (e.g. => vs. = >) This is a syntax error and causes this line of code to not compile and is not that easy to spot - especially when you are trying to learn a new language! You can imagine the *fun* that ensues when several or dozens or more lines end up with numerous syntax errors. You end up fixing bugs due to a broken copy/paste function ! (also notice the extra space character added before Foo - "Foo" vs " Foo" - while not a syntax error this could introduce a logic error - even worse and harder to debug than a syntax error) In conclusion, in my opinion, the Kindle format (at least as produced by O'Relly ?) is not a substitute for the PDF format for technical books. Review: This is the definitive reference on the C# language. Read it cover to cover. - This is a fantastic book, whether you're new to C# or are an experienced C# developer who wants to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the language and its core libraries. (Note that this book does assume a certain level of general programming experience). The writing style is clear, concise, and logical. The authors do a great job of illustrating each concept with relevant code snippets and examples. LINQPad, the freemium utility developed by the authors, is a very useful companion to the book (and is also quite impressive as a software achievement). For those who commented that the price of this edition is more expensive than previous editions, it's worth noting that this book clocks in at 1,035 pages. Hats off to the Albaharis for producing a phenomenal work of depth and breadth. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,584,571 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #164 in Microsoft C & C++ Windows Programming #172 in Microsoft .NET #210 in C# Programming (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 217 Reviews | ## Images ![C# 7.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814W0f2KXEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content good, format bad, really bad. *by T***M on October 21, 2017* tl;dr I'm giving this 5 stars for the content in consideration of the authors.

It gets straight to the point while using as few words as possible to cover a lot of ground. sometimes the lack of detailed explaining makes it hard to grasp a few concepts, but most of time it is all I need and is a real time saver for learning. this book is for people who just want to learn C# and it's features. It is basically a console driven book( at least for C# fundamentals) ## Frequently Bought Together - C# 7.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference - C# in Depth: Fourth Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70024565-c-7-0-in-a-nutshell-the-definitive-reference](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70024565-c-7-0-in-a-nutshell-the-definitive-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
