Hello
After analyzing the software industry, I believe C# and .NET are and will remain apart of a major set of development tool on the Win32 and Win64 platform second to only a combination of C/C++. With that in mind, I would like to ask what is the most complete and advanced programming book on C#/.NET
Here are the books I am considering
Programming Microsoft .NET by Jeff Prosis
Pro: Very good overal
Con: Broad and emphasizes .AS
Programming Windows with C# (Core Reference) by Charles Petzol
Pro: Complete - discusses all GUI tools, etc
Con: Fundamental - many examples of Windows Forms and no advanced design including multithreading, etc
Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming by Jeffrey Richte
Pro: Extensive coverage of CRT and .NE
Con: Overrated, lacking advanced subjects including multithreading, etc. It is not like his previous book on Win32 programming
I am trying to buy as few books as possible and still acquire a good overall understanding of C#/.NET and extensive converage of the framework for maximizing an application's performance. I am interested in multithreading, multiple processes, memory mapping, IPC, serial communication, socket, etc.
I believe I can learn the specifics (GUI) via experimenting, MSDN, and of course forums
Thanks

No such thing. I have studied a lot (maybe 30) of C# / .NET / ASP.NET books
and the conclusion I have come to is: the books out there are mainly only of
use as primers for those people who like to read books rather than program.
There are a very few exceptions ("ASP.NET Website Programming: Problem -
Design - Solution", for one). Beyond the primer stage you are much better
off getting your info from the Internet on many of the good .NET websites.
MSDN, as always, is another must. There is no substitute for sitting down
and try to write good code.
I have to disagree with John Smith, there are lot's of excellent books out
there for developers of all skill levels.
If you want to understand how .NET works then I highly recommend Jeffrey
Richter's book.

I have several C# books, and in my opinion the best one is Professional C# (Wrox
Book).
I would say that the *best* reference for C# would need to be qualified
more. If you are looking for a good langauge/operations reference (which,
based on the info provided, you seem to be), I'd suggest Professional C# as
someone else did already because it is very complete. What I've found is
that, provided you have a handle on OOP/design considerations, really any
language reference will do since most of the problems you will encounter
will hardly be a language issue that can't be solved with either a language
reference or MSDN help. A possible exception where concrete examples might
be beneficial are COM interop. The best one of these in my opinion is .NET
and COM by Sams. Remoting is another possible exception. Ingo Rammer's
Advanced .NET Remoting is really solid. For a good design pattern ref in C#
I like James Cooper's C# Design Patterns. If you are just starting out or
coming from a non-oop background, there are several beginning books on C#
but I would recommend reading Wrox's .Net Framework book first. I guess it
just depends on how far along you are in your experience.

After reading K&R, is there any other good source for learning how to

C++ has all those excellent Effective C++ and Exceptional C++ books,
does C have anything similar?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
