When you need answers for programming with C# 5.0, this practical and tightly focused book tells you exactly what you need to know—without long introductions or bloated samples. Easy to browse, it’s ideal as quick reference or as a guide to get you rapidly up to speed if you already know Java, C++, or an earlier version of C#.
Written by the authors of C# 5.0 in a Nutshell, this book covers the entire C# 5.0 language, including:
- All of C#’s fundamentals
- Advanced topics such as operator overloading, type constraints, covariance & contravariance, iterators, nullable types, operator lifting, lambda expressions & closures
- LINQ, starting with sequences, lazy execution and standard query operators, and finishing with a complete reference to query expressions
- Dynamic binding and C# 5.0’s new asynchronous functions
- Unsafe code & pointers, custom attributes, preprocessor directives, and XML documentation

This little book is great when you don't feel like toting around the full version of C# 5.0 in a Nutshell. It is chapters 2,3, and 4 of C# 5.0 in a Nutshell.
I take it along on trips where I can put it in my pocket. It is perfect for shopping trips with my wife. It gives me something to read while waiting outside the dressing room.
So far I have bought and read this book from cover to cover every time a new version comes out. It is a great way to get a refresh on everything that is available in the core C# language.

I would also recommend getting Linq Pocket Reference. I usually keep both together.
I really like that this book has an index. A very nice index. I have purchased other pocket version books and even some short full size books lately that don't have one. It is very annoying to not have an index.
O'reilly is a class act and this little C#-5 intro/ref -->5 update is outstanding. The hot topic in C#-5 is Linq and databasing, and that just happens to be where this author shines. I was surprised that it covers a lot of procedures, tips and tricks in way more than just 5.0, but does hit the major highlights and differences from the 4.0 series. This is NOT a book for oop or C# beginners! I recommend Herb Schildt's 950 page opus on C# 4.0 The Complete Reference for beginners instead. Schildt assumes NO programming background (I mean no-- not even basic, cobol, fortran, pascal... let alone the C series), whereas this 5 update assumes you know both C# and oop. Insiders know that since C++ has the whole C library, old time programmers like me can "get away" with using C++ without a single non-structured, oop command. Not so with the 5 reference-- all the examples, tips and hints assume you've got a solid background in not just the C series, but oop techniques. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that if you haven't done at least intermediate work with Linq and databasing, you might get a little lost, but with help from the web and or Safari (co owned by Oreilly) most any C# programmer will get a LOT out of this ref. (BTW 200 pages isn't exactly a "pocket" fit unless you don't want anything else in that pocket! The awesome index does make it an outstanding reference to keep right near your computer).
A caveat a lot of reviewers forget to add: this book, like most others, assumes your development work is in .NET and "traditional" business type applications of the framework, and NOT XNA/gaming.
