Comments about Microsoft Press CLR via C#, 3rd Edition:

It has been a while since I read this book. I never reviewed it because I didn't realize Microsoft Press was sold on the O'Reilly site.

I can not tell you how many times I have been asked an interview question which I answered quickly and concisely thanks to this book. It covers a lot of material. When I say "a lot", I don't mean the average amount of material in a book this length, I mean the average amount of material in a book that is three times the size of this book. Seriously, it goes over some topics that other books don't touch on: like why strings are interned the way they are, string comparison optimizations, globalization gotchas, assembly structure, and a lot more.

I recommended this book to a friend a few days ago. I would gladly recommend it to anyone who is a professional .NET developer or a student using .NET technologies. It thoroughly discusses the how, why, and when the CLR performs the way it does.

A note for beginners: I think this book is geared more toward intermediate-to-advanced developers. If you find some of the content too difficult, skim it and come back to it later. You won't be let down.

I have read CLR Via C# 2nd Edition and now I am reading 3rd edition. Both the books are just master piece. I will recommend every dotnet programmer to have a copy of it.

I am reading this book for past 1 month. I find myself very comfortable with the author approach on explaining the topics. In my view this book is defnitely not for dummies. The book has enormus information on variety of topics. If you buy this book for learning C# language then You can find yourself as a CLR expert after reading this book.
In some place Author explains and justify the decesion of the implementation of CLR by reffering the internals of Windows. I recommend every .NET programmer to have a copy. Thanks.
