A short while ago the second edition of my C# book, Accelerated C# 2008 was shipped from Apress. Just about all of the material from the previous edition is included in this one plus 3 new chapters covering the exciting new functional programming features of the C# 3.0 language. Those new features include Extension Methods, Lambda Expression, and LINQ. C# 3.0 also introduces a few smaller new features that mostly facilitate the three just mentioned and they are also covered in new material.

You can find the table of contents of "Accelerated C# 2008" here.

C# 3.0 offers many new and exciting features, many of which foster a functional programming model. Some of the new features are simply small time-saver and convenience features. Auto-implemented properties are one of the latter.

Check out my blog entry (link below) on the Apress website regarding auto-implemented properties for the straight dope.

Auto-implemented Properties in C# 3.0

I've been such a horrible blogger. Dave Hahn (King Barn himself) urges me not to be such a barnacle and update my blog more often. Now that my company finally shipped the latest edition of our market leading encryption software, and engineering has some time to breathe, I will definitely find more time to be at least a tad more prolific in the blogosphere.

Stay tuned for more to come....

Hi everyone,

With regards to previous comments about the table of contents....

You can view the table of contents at the Apress website by clicking here. You will need the Adobe Acrobat reader. This should allow you to view the table of contents until Amazon gets the look-inside feature rolling.

Thanks for the comments!

I just found this interesting site named World66 that allows you to create a map showing all of the countries of the world you have visited. Looks like I need to get south of the Equator!

Hi Folks!

Welcome to my new blog.

Now that I have finished my book, Accelerated C# 2005, it's time that I find time in my busy schedule to contribute to my blog and get with the program. With this blog, I will post my random thoughts and latest coding musings.

Stay tuned for more to come...
