 Great explanation of .NET July 26, 2010
Nick (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I've been developing in C# for 8 years, and this book is the most clear, in-depth book on how the CLR works I have ever read. It starts from the bottom, by explaining what the CLR is, how it works, and how to best use it. The best section is the Threading section. It goes over the different models of threading, how they work internally, and when to use them. I've been able to immediately apply what I've learned in this book to my current work.
 The books are not good for developers, but "coders. June 22, 2010

I bought the 2nd version of this book. Then, I opened Safari account. I read this version through Safari.
I honestly said this book is not for professional developers. It covers almost all the aspects of CLR the same as MSDN.
I don't know if the book is paraphrased from MSDN. It does not provide any thoughtful explanation out of the author's personal experience.
It seems to me that the author did not work as a developer for a long time.
I don't recommend the books to any of my friends.
A powerful pick for any serious C# programmer's library May 18, 2010
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
The third updated edition of CLR Via C# provides an important, definitive guide to mastering CLR and .NET development, and comes from a programming expert and longtime consultant to Microsoft's .NET team. It shows how to build, share and use version applications, assemblies, and more, using generics and interfaces and working with special CLR types. From exceptions to dynamic applications using CLR hosting, this is a powerful pick for any serious C# programmer's library.
 Great Update for .NET 4.0 May 11, 2010

I am a big fan of Jeffery Richter, having read 3 of his books. This one is a great update to the second edition of his book. I was somewhat surprised that he did not cover LINQ, but perhaps the focus of the book being CLR not C# per se, it was left out on purpose.
Takes any developer to their next level of programming C# April 26, 2010
T. Anderson (PA USA)
There are plenty books that show you what you can do with C#. This book shows how C# does what it does and tells you why. There is no better advanced C# book available on the market.
If you want to learn the CLR, this is the way to do it. There is no better way.
You will not find a better treatment of threading. This book covers threading in great detail.
The author's style of writing makes the book very easy to read, and he is able to present complex topics in an easy to learn format.
The only part of the book I can't stand is the Forward. There Jeffrey's wife tells us that this is his last book. That would be understandable, but ashame.
All the code in the book is in one solution and is easy to use.
All in all, this is an absolute must read for any C# developer. The understanding of C# you gain from this book will take you too the next level, no matter what level of programmer you are today.
