Absolutely Excellent - Required Reading for Advanced .NET Developers
Richter and more. This book is all that I expected from Mr. His writing style is excellent, his explanations are very understandable, and above all his examples are superb. He not only illustrates a particular point -- he also shows a coding style, verbousness (is that a word?), and correctness that we should all mimic. All too often writers choose for an example the most obvious one - which is wasted if it merely echoes whats said in the text. The examples here extend, amplify, and make you think.

Yes, you can write . NET applications without reading this book. But I have to believe that your application will be much better if you take the time to learn from this book. However -- I would not recommend it as the first book about . NET programming. It (correctly) assumes you already know the basics. .

Explains the behind the scene details
NET CLR. This book explains the "behind the scene" details of . If you wan't to know evertything about how the CLR internal are and works this is the right book.

The best of all CLRs
That's what I was looking for. I have read Wrox Visual C# Professional 2005, C# Programming from O'Relly and finally I've got this one. You can exactly feel a professional trainer. Book written with expection that you are going to have a specific questions, and it offers proper answers without falling into some abstractions as some other books do. Excellent book.
