I don't know this particular book, but at 250 pages, it's certainly notgoing to be comprehensive. I wouldn't buy it. My preference is for the Apress Pro C# series. The latest one covers C# 5 and .NET 4.5: http://www.apress.com/9781430242338
The following title: C# Precisely, 2nd Edition by (authors) Peter Sestoft and Henrik I. Hansen - is aa guide for those who are familiar with the Java programming language and wish to learn C# for quick reference.
That is to say that this book is quick and concise but not particularly comprehensive. Though this book may cover the following: the differences between C# and Java, genereics, iterators - it is basically a book cover versiob on C# Version 2.0. This guide
does not cover the extensive Microsoft.NET framework class libararies. The examples are legal programs - but only pieces of the program.
Best of Luck!
With Kind Regards,
