Synopsis

The Elements of C# Style is for all C# practitioners, especially those working in teams where consistency is critical. Like previous Elements titles, the text furnishes a set of rules for writing clear, comprehensible and easy-to maintain code; this time for C#. The authors offer a collection of standards and guidelines for creating solid C# that can save time, effort and expense. The book provides conventions for:
- formatting
- naming
- documentation
- programming
- packaging
for C# 2.0 and includes discussion of advanced topics such as generics.
