Book review: CLR via C#
I'm assuming we're all busy people, so I'll start with the note: 9/10.
This book is almost perfect. I believe i have 2 observations about it:
- CLR hosting coverage is not as good as the rest of the book. anyway, we're talking about a huge topic and there's already a cool book about it;
- I didn't see any mention to the new async pattern based on events (here's a msdn article that talks about it) which was introduced in .NET 2.0. Does that mean that it's no longer used?
The rest of the book is really good. I mean, it probably has the best overview on the garbadge collecter I've ever seen and it's full of small details that will really help you understand the CLR a lot better.
Probably the best book I've read in the last months.
