Keep this book handy at work! ✔️

A good book for beginners to gain familiarity with C# and .Net. You won't learn things in depth, its not an encyclopaedia, although its priced like one.At that cost - you can buy packt.pub subscription for 5 months and read unlimited books.

My past few weeks have been a combo of #healthybreakfast with a dose of C# and .NET 8. Completed reading "𝐂# 12 𝐚𝐧𝐝 .𝐍𝐄𝐓 8 – 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 - 𝐄𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" by Mark J. Price; Packt Publications. Without doubt, this is one of my personal favorites when it comes to a brilliant guide for beginner-to-intermediate programmers to the concepts, real-world applications, and latest features of C# 12 and .NET 8, with hands-on exercises using Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code.Last summer 2023, I had perused the C# 11 and .NET 7. This version has loads of updated content, hands-on exercises (which I executed all), context of AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot and "Practicing and exploring" section wherein you can test your knowledge with specific exercises.4 reasons why I love this book:✅ Whether you're learning C# for the first time, or an intermediate Dev looking to get some primer info into proven practices using cross-platform .NET, and a brief introduction to the fundamentals of web development, this is a perfect hands-on step-by-step guide for your learning journey. Has an excellent coverage from the setup of VS, VSCode etc. to the advanced topics.✅ Practical guidance, tips and best practices shared along the way. Instead of becoming a long, boring reference book, this is a more practical approach to learning dev using C#.✅ Accompanying GitHub repo with downloadable code. Personally, I prefer not downloading the code prior to reading a chapter, and rather read through and execute the code to test. In case am stuck and cannot troubleshoot, I do refer to the downloadable code.✅ All you need is this book + one of the IDEs (either VS Code, Visual Studio 2022 or a third-party tool like JetBrains Rider) to deep dive into C# and start building websites and services with ASP.NET Core 8, Blazor, and Entity Framework (EF) Core 8.

Libro che copre tutti gli aspetti di .NET 8 e C# 12. Utilissimo anche per chi vuole dare una 'rinfrescata' alle proprie conoscenze.

esta muy bien explicado y actualizado, solo quadria que saliese una version en castellano para que pudiera llegar a mas gente, estoy muy contento de haberlo adquirido

Amazing book, just what I needed to get my C# up to date from a much earlier version (C# 2.0 from 2006).

Ik heb al een drietal van die guusten over C# doorworsteld maar dit boek leidt mij persoonlijk tot het meeste inzicht.Ik ben er alleszins erg content mee.

Started me on my journey of improving C# skills. Price keeps you easily wanting to go further.
