Review: Comprehensive quality material - This book is very comprehensive and appeals to all skill sets. So far I’ve found it extremely useful as reference material. I would recommend the paperback version over the kindle however as with all books this size. Recommend for all levels though if you’re brand new to C# I would firstly read the Learn C# and Learn it Well by Jamie Chan and get used to Console then get this. This will be your bible for all .Net 5 / C# - but don’t just read, get writing! Review: Comprehensive guide to C# and .Net - The author covers alot in this edition. Topics are well explained with reference to further material and good exercises at the end of each topic. It's maybe not the best book for absolute beginners but certainly helped me, a relatively new programmer to fill in alot of gaps in my knowledge of C#. It's turned out to be the most helpful of the many books that I have purchased relating to programming. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,293,476 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 535 in Microsoft Windows Programming 3,324 in Introduction to Programming 4,582 in Software Design & Development | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (436) | | Dimensions | 19.05 x 4.72 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Fifth | | ISBN-10 | 180056810X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1800568105 | | Item weight | 1.51 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 822 pages | | Publication date | 10 Nov. 2020 | | Publisher | Packt Publishing | ## Images ![C# 9 and .NET 5 – Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build intelligent apps, websites, and services with Blazor, ASP.NET Core, and Entity Framework Core using Visual Studio Code - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AZ+YEH9IL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive quality material *by D***E on 16 January 2021* This book is very comprehensive and appeals to all skill sets.

Topics are well explained with reference to further material and good exercises at the end of each topic. It's maybe not the best book for absolute beginners but certainly helped me, a relatively new programmer to fill in alot of gaps in my knowledge of C#. It's turned out to be the most helpful of the many books that I have purchased relating to programming. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A lot of concepts, but few explanations *by A***R on 10 June 2022* I feel like this books does not give a lot of reasons for the things you are doing, and many times falls into keywords aligned together to form word soup rather than being explained in an easy to digest way e.g. "The responsibility of a route is to discover the name of a controller class to instantiate an action method to execute with an optional Id parameter to pass to the method that will generate an HTTP response" I read this sentence multiple times, work with this type of code everyday and have had this concept explained to me before in a way that made perfect sense - this is just confusing. This happens quite frequently in a way that makes the book seem unfriendly to learners and rather someone looking for a quick reference. I also find myself going through a whole chapter and typing out the code from the pictures, pushing it to my repo on GitHub and then not really remember what I did in that chapter the next day - the content isn't made memorable or interactive and seems to just be parroting the Microsoft docs. Saying that, the book does cover a wide range or concepts (maybe too many for one book), and it suffers by not going in-depth with specifics like I mentioned above. The code necessary is easily obtainable from the author's GitHub repo if needed, and they seem responsive to errata reported by people working through the book. I felt that a lot of the chapters seemed a bit muddled in terms of building knowledge, with a lot of the early chapter stating "don't worry about this for now as we will revisit later in the book", which isn't very helpful as why not just have this concept set up before the example that uses it? It's quite puzzling. As other reviews have said, it's not especially didactic and this made me disengage with the content a lot due to tedium or confusion about why we're using something that hasn't been explained yet. I feel I would have benefitted a lot more just by visiting the Microsoft docs and building my own projects rather than slogging through the book, since it is mostly just repetition or copy paste code and it works, very little explanation to cement the meaning behind the code or why we would choose to do it this way. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/240072283-c-9-and-net-5-modern-cross-platform-development-build](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/240072283-c-9-and-net-5-modern-cross-platform-development-build) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
