I asked this before, although several months ago, and I want to make sure
the recommendation hasn't changed.
I'm a developer who is working on a Web application, but most of my work is
at the very low end of the system, below the business objects, providing
core functionality. I've read Advanced .NET Remoting, C# and the .Net
framework, Performance Tuning and Optimizing ASP.NET Applications. I have a
strong background in C and C++ (as well as a smattering in Java, Pascal,
etc.) so I don't need a beginners book.
I think I need a book which will talk to me about the core of C#'s
libraries, and what kind of basic functionality it offers to get various
work done efficiently.
When I last asked this question, I was told that Jeffrey Richter's Applied
Microsoft .NET Framework Programming would be a good choice. Is that still
a good choice?

I haven't read Richter's book yet though I know he is
usually very good. I just finished Don
Box's "Essential .NET" and my review is: pay attention
during the first 5 chapters so that you can keep up when
your eyes get opened during the last 5 chapters...

My recomentation is:
1. If one don't have any ideia what c# is any lightweight book about c#
just to understand the examples is necessary.
2. Jeffrey Richter's "Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" and
Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows with c#"
3. Don Box's "Essential .NET". As Don Box says himself at the beginning
of the book Jeffrey Richter or alike should be read prior to his book.
4. Even it is not releared to .NET Jeffrey Richter's Advanced Windows (3rd
Ed) would be of verry big help. Understanding of windows processes, threads,
messages would be of real help as long as the current platform is win2k or
winXP. For Web application it is not necessary I believe.
I believe these are good start.

Absolutely. IMHO a .NET must-read.

I so agree, the only book, IMHO, worth reading on the subject. Actually
admits that MSFT in not the only game in town. (The O'reilly book really
SUCKS)

I'm not sure which O'Reilly book you mean, but I can tell you that
Programming C# (3rd Edition) has been fully updated for 1.1. and I support
it on my web site with an errata, source code and a link to a private
support discussion area. It has been the #1 book on C# on Amazon for nearly
a year, and Amazon's own independent reviewer called it "An adept and
extremely well conceived guide to the C# language". Barnes and Noble's
reviewer wrote "You can't beat Liberty for clarity and simplicity, and you
can't beat his Programming C# for thorougness, either." They went on to say
that the book shows "extraordinary clarity" and uses "well -crafted
examples."
While I certainly respect your right to dislike a book, you used pretty
harsh language, so forgive me if I try to provide the other side. In any
case, the interested reader can find a sample chapter on my web site: http://www.LibertyAssociates.com, where you can buy the book at a 30%
discount and find extensive supporting material.
Thanks.

Sorry Jesse, I think I actually met you before, the book that I hated
was ".NET Framework Essentials, 3rd Edition" sorry for the general slam.
I'll check out your book
