### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An Excellent Book and Reference - Not for beginners, however
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2009*

CLR via C# is an excellent look into the finer details of the .Net Framework.  It is not really a book on how to program in C# per se (there are many excellent books on this subject, such as Programming Microsoft Visual C# 2005: The Base Class Library by Francesco Balena) but more a book on how to get the most out of the .Net Framework while using the C# language as your vehicle.  If you are new to programming or to C#, this should probably not be your first or even second book on the subject.In this 648 page journey through the CLR, Mr. Richter covers such subjects as how code is converted from high level C# to MSIL, Types, Generics, Events, and Asynchronous programming, to name just a few.  The book assumes some level of knowledge not just of C# but of programming in general.  The author does assume that you, as the reader, are familiar with some common data structures and programming best practices.  Mr. Richter also interjects his own opinion at various times on why certain features work the way they do, or how they would/should work were he in charge of creating the CLR.If you are already a competent C# or VB.Net developer who is ready to take your development skills to the next level, I highly recommend this book.  At 648 pages long, it may take some time to get through, but I can guarantee it will be time well spent.

    the first edition was better. this edition is more about Jeffery Richter fluffing ...
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015*

the first edition was better.  this edition is more about Jeffery Richter fluffing his feathers than it is about the CLR...kind of hard to someone seriously when they take themselves so seriously.

    If Microsoft .NET Was a Board Game, This Would be the Start Square
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2006*

At the heart of Microsoft .NET is the CLR.  .NET development is primarily about directing the CLR.  But how can you do that if you don't really know what the CLR is or what it can do?Most .NET programming books are language centric.  The capabilities of the CLR are implied based on the description of the language.  Jeffery Richter's book is CLR centric.  It describes what the CLR can do and how it does it.  C# is used to provide practical examples of how to direct the CLR.The book clearly and efficiently presents vital information that you'd spends days trying to discover by either pouring over MSDN or writing test applications.  Highlights include:* how source code is converted to IL, stored, managed, and executed* a description of the code metadata available at run time and how it is used* how data is classified, organized, and managed* a description of the members that make up a class (fields, methods, etc.)* how to handle exceptions* how garbage collection works* how reflection works* how to write multi-threaded applicationsThroughout the book there are many warnings about pitfalls and gotchas.  The execution efficiency of different approaches is explained for many situations.I urge any .NET developer who doesn't really understand the CLR to read this book.
