OReilly - CSharp 3.0 Cookbook 3rd.Edition

This book began for usaswe started exploring C# 3.0 and noticing how it could change the applicationswe were working on. With the advent of C# 3.0 and the new featuress uch asLINQ, we took the opportunity to reexamine how we did thingsin the first two editions to see how we could improve the existing recipes as well as learn better ways of accomplishing programming tasks with C#. Sadly, during the process, the NuMega lab of Compuware was closed and the development community lost a talented team of tool developers. Jay has continued at Newmarket International, pushing software forward with .NET, while Steve moved on to Ounce Labs, where his focus is on software security. We continue to learn an incredible amount about C# and the Framework in general while, in thisedition, we work hard to help bring you a better understanding of how C# has evolved and how it can help you do your job better. This book would have been impossible without the following people, and we’d like to acknowledge all of their efforts.

Our appreciation goesout to John Osborn (our editor), Kyley Caldwell, and Laurel Ruma, who kept us on schedule and did a great job in getting this book finished and on the shelves in a compressed timeframe. Thank you for all of your efforts. We extend our gratitude to Eric Lippert for going above and beyond what is expected of a technical editor.
