Full Review
Mike James comments in his review:
This book is a good example of its type, i.e. the problem-solving approach. It is clear and it covers the solutions well. The success of this book for you depends very much on how enthusiastic you can get about such problems. It isn’t a bad approach and if you like puzzles then it might suit your learning style.

- Deep C#: Dive Into Modern C# by Mike James
In Deep C#, I Programmer’s Mike James, who has programmed in C# since its launch in 2000, provides a “deep dive” into various topics that are important or central to the language at a level that will suit the majority of C# programmers. Not everything will be new to any given reader, but by exploring the motivation behind key concepts, which is so often ignored in the documentation, the intention is to be thought-provoking and to give developers confidence to exploit C#’s wide range of features.
