C# 10 and .NET 6 - Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build apps, websites, and services with ASP.NET Core 6, Blazor, and EF Core 6 using Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code 6th ed. Edition

Finishing up chapter 8 - an update: Mark Price' presents material in a logical and, usually, easy to follow manner. He covers a breadth of material and consequently can't detail it all, but usually provides pointers to resources for those wanting more. I can't imagine a better resource for someone with a little background but in need of moving beyond brief introductions into the rich world of C# and .Net6. I frequently get excited by the practical way he presents information that I anticipate utilizing on some personal projects. He makes available an excellent errata resource. Two or three times, Mark gave an example which worked well, but I had difficulty grasping why. I suspect that more my learning challenge than his writing. I am more than three quarters of a century old. Still, I'm high on Mark and this book.Earlier I wrote after working through chapter 3:I'm comparing this book to two other book purchase on the subject of C#. (I'm trying to teach myself how to program.) The others did a good job introducing various aspects of the language and how to program. I'm now into chapter three of this book and have found a wealth of information easily accessible and retrieval in the future. I've become a fan of Mark Price and his thoroughness. Entering this book I find additional electronic resources that he makes available which add to the richness of volume. I do not see it as an entry book, but at least an intermediate level. I'm loving the learning.

I can't say if this should be someone's first book on C# but, if you already have some knowledge of programming, I can completely recommend it.I'm about a fifth of the way through the book as I'm refreshing my C# skills after a couple of years away and updating to .NET 6. I've already learned things I never knew before or didn't fully understand. The author's style is down-to-earth and he makes the material very accessible.I'd looked at using Visual Studio Code before but could never get into it when I already knew how to work with VS Community. This book takes you step by step through it and I now enjoy working with it.Mark Price also goes into some of the "gotchas" in the language like the dangers of using the Double type and C#'s use of Banker's rounding. I understand bitwise operations better than I did before. He also points out best practices that come in very handy.I'm looking forward to finishing the book but I can already say it's an excellent resource.

Has lots of good content with simple to follow examples. My complaint is, now that I have read the book, I know there are topics I want to revisit but it is difficult to find the topic again; the index is too thin. As an example, there is no index reference for 'overload'.The book oversells its coverage of MAUI. The book admits in the forward that MAUI was not released in time to include in the book but not all of the content in the book was likewise edited. For example, the back cover states "Build cross-platform apps using .NET MAUI and XAML"; not really true with respect to MAUI.

For me it’s great!, because with some courses or YouTube videos, the path of learning might be confused, this is a step-by-step guide that shows important and helpful stuff about dotnet, of course there’s always the official Microsoft documentation, but for some of us (like me) sometimes is hard to get it all at once.

I am an Analyst/Programmer working on migrating ColdFusion apps over to the .NET framework. I got this book, in conjunction with other materials, to help learn the new ASP.NET Core 6 and C#10 features and changes. This book has helped out a lot already and I’m only on Chapter 2! I highly recommend this book for anyone looking at getting into .NET with C#.

Great

This book is pretty great. It doesn't completely hold your hand through the basics, but assumes you know the basic building blocks of programming already. I haven't quite finished it yet, as I'm working my way through it doing the exercises.

Mark Price covers an expansive scope with concise explanations and illustrations. Fantastic job!

Although the book doesn't go very deep into features, it's written in a way that helped me to structure my knowledge in . Net development and move to the next level.

Gostei bastante do livro. Aborda as particularidades do C# e .NET 6. É um livro para consulta ou para lê-lo por inteiro.

Il libro "C# 10 and .NET 6" si rivela un'opera fondamentale per chiunque desideri approfondire la programmazione con C# e sfruttare appieno le potenzialità di .NET 6. Scritto in modo chiaro ed esaustivo, questo testo rappresenta una guida completa che accompagna sia i principianti sia gli sviluppatori più esperti in un viaggio attraverso le ultime novità del linguaggio e del framework.L'autore dimostra un'ampia conoscenza del soggetto e un'abilità notevole nell'esporre concetti complessi in maniera accessibile. I concetti base di C# sono presentati in modo esaustivo, ma è la trattazione delle nuove funzionalità introdotte in C# 10 che davvero risalta. L'approccio pratico, attraverso esempi concreti e codice ben spiegato, aiuta il lettore a comprendere non solo il "come", ma anche il "perché" di determinate scelte di progettazione.Il libro non si limita solo al linguaggio, ma esplora anche a fondo .NET 6 e le sue caratteristiche più recenti. Dalla gestione delle API all'elaborazione asincrona, dalla creazione di applicazioni desktop a quelle web, vengono trattati diversi aspetti che riflettono l'ampiezza e la versatilità di .NET. Anche il supporto per l'integrazione multi-piattaforma è ben affrontato, fornendo spunti preziosi per sviluppatori che mirano a creare applicazioni per diversi sistemi operativi.Un aspetto lodevole del libro è la struttura modulare dei capitoli. Questa permette sia una lettura sequenziale, ideale per chi sta iniziando da zero, sia un accesso rapido alle sezioni rilevanti per chi cerca risposte specifiche. Inoltre, le esercitazioni alla fine di ogni capitolo offrono l'opportunità di mettere subito in pratica quanto appreso.Tuttavia, la densità delle informazioni potrebbe, a volte, risultare un po' sopraffante per i principianti assoluti. Alcuni concetti più avanzati potrebbero richiedere una lettura più attenta o ulteriori ricerche per essere pienamente compresi.

Très complet, très pédagogique

The book itself is great but it wasn't packed carefully so it arrived damaged...The pages are wrinkled and the corners are damaged.
