Author Eric Gunnerson is a developer on Microsoft's C# design team and has logged many hours writing and testing C# code.

Among the core topics covered are everything from C# basic statements and flow of execution, to classes, structs, interfaces, expressions, arrays, enums, delegates and events, exception handling, interoperability, and more! The final section of the book provides a history of C#, and a language comparison to other widely used programming languages.
