CLR via well written book, August 26, 2009
CLR via C# does what we want every book to do when we read it... it leaves us a lot more knowledgeable when we finished than we were when we started reading it. A reader would have to be a very advanced developer to read this book and not get anything out of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Jeffrey Richter's writing style, which made the transfer of knowledge from the book to my brain feel natural and not forced through painful frustrations and rereading paragraphs.
Concerning the longevity of the information presented, the book is over three years old, yet I see myself referring back to it for many years (until I replace it with the next edition).
Kudos to you, Mr Richter, for your book.

CLR via C#, Second Edition, June 15, 2009
Very well written book; first time I am understanding the .Net framework!
Can't wait to read his other book that I also purchased: Windows via C/C++.

A must-read before understanding managed code, May 29, 2009
The book is very clearly written, and I typically have issues with code samples showing nuances of languages and environments, but they are quite clear here.
This was recommended reading that I did before beginning a dev job out of school since I had worked almost exclusively in a *nix environment, but would have to at least be able to read (and eventually write a bit of) managed code for the Windows CLR. It is a thorough introduction to the necessities of CLR coding and gives very useful analogies/similarities with other languages that I found quite useful (especially C++).
Without this, I would have spent a LOT of time on my own writing various test programs and not fully understanding what was going on under the covers. There is also quite a bit of code samples showing the IL generated for the runtime that is quite useful.
Other reviews cover the topics etc., and all I'll say about them is that they are all applicable and clearly written.

need more in-depth analysis, April 25, 2009
The book is nice, I have read 2 books written by Jeff. Most of time the author explain the C# language features which are so easy to read in MSDN. I like to read more about CLR, compared to Java, where are the places that CLR works smoothly with Windows OS, ..etc. As for language itself, Lippman Stanly's C# book explain better.
