C# 5.0 Programmer's Reference

C# 5.0 Programmer's Reference is a language tutorial and a reference guide that provides a comprehensive introduction to the latest C# language standard---C# 5.0---as well as its implementation in the upcoming 2013 release of Visual Studio. The tutorial teaches the basics of C# programming in a style accessible to beginning-level programmers; it will also cover a comprehensive range of more advanced topics, including regular expressions, asynchronous/parallel programming, serialization, and encryption techniques, which will be of interest to intermediate-level developers.

The reference section allows programmers to quickly locate information for specific language features. The entries in these appendices allow the reader to quickly review the details of important programming, objects, properties, methods, and events.
