C# in Depth, 3rd Edition by Jon Skeet

• I really like the approach. He starts with explaining the features of c# 1.
• He then builds on the language added features for each version.
• There is a 4th edition being written now that includes c#7, but I think 3rd edition should be good enough.
• I say this because you will save $$$ and you can learn about the small num of C#7 features later.
