C# 7.0 Pocket Reference: Instant Help for C# 7.0 Programmers

When you need answers for programming with C# 7.0, this tightly focused reference tells you exactly what you need to know―without long introductions or bloated examples. Easy-to-browse and ideal as a quick reference, this guide will help experienced C#, Java, and C++ programmers get up to speed with the latest version of the C# language.

All programs and code snippets in this book are available as interactive samples in LINQPad.
