From the previous edition, some articles and whose home the brothers Albahari are known to me. For you the questions posed extensively, this is about work in general in the depth.
The proffered material through threading is not easy, mainly because Microsoft has published over Windows development as many solutions in this field. It's easy to lose track of what approach should be angwendet in special cases.
The other topics are treated at a high level, very detailed and profound. If one looks as beginners a quick recipe for a problem, the book is perhaps not the right choice.
If one looks but background knowledge, then I can only recommend the book.
The substance is not always easy to digest, due to the complexity of the topic. But if you have worked through certain things twice, you will be independent of recipes and is meant largely what makes the compiler so -especially in version 5 all in the background. The book for version 4 was at the same level.
Treatises on WPF, WCF, WF, etc. are not included, because it's all about the C # language and not to frameworks in the book.
The design of the book I like, for eyeglass wearers is the Scripture might be a bit small (for a bit exhausting).
The authors -the brothers Albahari- have it already full it, so full marks.
Delivery by Amazon -As gewohnt- could not be better.
