Summary: .NET from the Inside
Review: This book really gets to the core of the .NET FCL and CLR. Jeffrey writes with a no nonsense, down to business style that gets right to the heart of the topic. He covers all the different parts of C#, he tells you how they relate to the CLR, and he shows you the ILASM that is generated as a result of your code. Along the way he points out opportunities for optimization and shows you why some parts of the language may make it difficult for your assemblies to interact with different languages that use them. This book was written for the programmer who already understands OO programming. I have found this book to be quite insightful on helping me understand what goes on inside the .NET FCL and CLR when writing C# code.

Summary: Solid Presentation of .Net Framework Features
Review: In ".NET Framework Programming", Jeffrey Richter deals with the obvious and subtle features of C# programming in an intelligent and helpful manner. He has an excellent sense of knowing when to slow down and go into depth on a topic, such as when describing the subtleties of reference vs. value types. Although I had been programming in C# for several months before encountering this book, reading this book greatly added to my appreciation and understanding of the .NET framework and C# programming language features. The insights in this book go far beyond what is available in MSDN on-line documentation. This book is a "MUST OWN" for a C# programmer. It is certainly one of the best programming references that I've encountered in 20 years of programming.

Summary: Well Worth It
Review: For the first 17 or so chapters I felt this was a pretty good book, giving a little more detail on many topics than what is found in the vast majority of books and articles. Then I hit the chapter on exceptions and I became more enthusiastic. This is a good explanation of exactly what is going on inside .NET exceptions with examples of how to limit performance hits that I haven't seen anywhere else. Well beyond the typical "this is the try block, this is the catch block, this is how finally works - don't catch what you don't handle" litany. Then I got to the chapter on garbage collection. Wow. Laid the whole topic bare with deep detail and concise explanations. I am now the office guru when it comes to how garbage collection is affecting our performance. This chapter alone may be worth the price of the book.

Summary: A real Bible in .NET Framework
Review: This book is the real Bible in .NET Framework. ¡¾1¡¿ Jeff stands on both a depth and a high level about .NET Framework. We can draw this from the parts of this book. Jeff partitions the .NET Framework into four parts: "Basics of the Microsoft .NET Framework","Working with Types and the Common Language Runtime", "Designing Types", "Essential Types", "Managing Types". This vision is unique, and of course gives me very good understanding to .NET Framework . And I have never seen a DonNet writer have this vision. ¡¾2¡¿ It is not a reorganization of MSDN doc( To tell the truth,many "excellent books' do in this way). Instead, it is an important complement to the MSDN doc, especially in the Chapter 2 ,Chapter 3,Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 15, Chapter 18, and Chapter 19. The Chapter 6 , Chapter 18 and Chapter 19 are so excellent that I don't think there is another will exceed this. Oh, Don Box seems to be making efforts :) They give me many important things that I don't find in some other books and MSDN. I think even Microsoft staffs need to get this book¡ª¡ªJeff recommanded many good techniques for .NET Framework Architecture,and found some bugs in .NET Framework. ¡¾3¡¿ Jeff has abundant programming experiences in programming , especially in Microsoft platform. And he give many good guidelines ,and even some patterns in this book. Especially for the Equality of value types and reference types(box/unbox), the Exception Handling, and the Garbage Collection. ¡¾4¡¿ There are so many good points that I can not write them all in one review. ¡¾5¡¿ By the way, this book is not for the .NET application( Windows Forms,ASP.NET,Web Services), but this a must-base for them To summarize , this is a unique£¬classic£¬and excellent book for .NET Framwork. A real Bible in .NET Framework.

Summary: All you need to know about the .Net Framework.
Review: Don't go here if you are trying to find a good book on VB.Net or C#.net. Before reading about the Languages around the .Net Framework one should gain an understanding of the framework as a whole. I have bought many books (50+) and this book is the best book that I have read so far about the .Net framework. It is very comprehensive and describes in detail about the types and classes that make up the framework. If your a .Net programmer have fun with it. A MUST BUY!

Summary: this is the book you are looking for
Review: This book is amazing! It contains great advanced samples and information. If you look Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) opcodes while you are reading this book, you can easily understand what it is going under the hood.

Summary: That's the way to do it!
Review: An indispensable complement to the "how-to" books of Wrox and O'Reilly, this book covers the fundamentals of the .NET framework with impressive detail and expertise. The focus is on understanding the fundamentals of .NET and how they bear on your own programs. This book neither overwhelms you with technical detail nor baffles you with unexplained "how-to" instructions. In an admirably balanced fashion it tells you both what you need to do and why you need to do it. The author has an insider's knowledge of how the .NET framework works and why it has been designed to work like that. He is also a very good teacher. I found this book invaluable and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Summary: Awesome Book
Review: I am a little over half way through this book and must say that the way the author relates the concepts to practical examples is pure genius. I beleive the key to a great teacher is the ability to break down difficult concepts into understandable clear pieces that mere mortals can understand. The author has achieved this difficult task. I read the reviews here before I bought the book and even though there are so many, I still feel compelled to add my praise also.

Summary: Best book on the details of .Net
Review: I wouldn't exactly call this book an introductory level look into .Net. In fact, I'd recommend that you already be familiar with most of the core concepts of .Net before you try reading it. As a consultant to the .Net development staff, Jeff gives the details of .Net like very few other people can. Some parts of the book go well beyond what a "normal" programmer would attempt to do (like create unmanaged windows handles), but the examples are clear as to how it works and what best practices should be followed. It's by far the best .Net book I've read so far. Someone asked if they could borrow it now that I'm finished with mine and I told them to go buy their own. It's a great piece of reference material and the binding is well worn already from reading and referencing during my projects. Well done, Jeff. Well done.
