This book provides comprehensive coverage of the C# language, going beyond a tutorial and offering a foundation upon which you can begin effective software development projects.

For readers already familiar with C#, this book provides insight into some of the more complex programming paradigms and provides in-depth coverage of the features introduced in the latest version of the language, C# 7.0 and .NET Framework X.Y and .NET Core 1.X.

It is both a tutorial and a reference that can be used for many years.
