New book on C# 2.0

[Peter Sestoft]

The book C# Precisely gives a concise description of the C#
programming language, version 2.0, including generics, iterators,
anonymous methods and partial type declarations, but excluding most of
Microsoft's .Net Framework class libraries except threads,
input-output, and generic collection classes.

The book has 204 pages, a comprehensive index, and 209 examples.
The complete ready-to-run examples are available for download.

C# Precisely is published on October 1 by MIT Press. See

Anders Hejlsberg, chief designer of C#, is quoted on the back cover:

Blaise Pascal once wrote, 'I have made this letter longer
than usual, because I lack the time to make it short.'
Peter Sestoft and Henrik Hansen have taken the time to
write a short book on C# that leaves nothing out.

And when will C# 2.0 be available? O:-)

It's part of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for which you can find beta1
at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/ and there's a C# 2.0 preview
in the Mono project (www.go-mono.com).

The complete Mono C# 2.0 implementation should be available spring
2005, and the official final release of Microsoft VS2005 should happen
in mid-2005.
