Recomendation for a C# 2.0 book?

[Bruce]

On Amazon I see at most 2-3 books that claim to cover c# 2.0. And I know
that it is still early in the game, so a book bought now may end up being
invalid in a few months. But never-the-less, would anyone recommend any of
the existing books?

Thanks, Bruce

I would wait until Beta 2 which is incoming and it will be stable for
writing books...meantime I would read the MSDN preliminary doc about 2.0:

If you've already read a c# book, then I'd recommend reading articles
about generics, nullible type, anonymous methods, etc. Microsoft is
very good about making things backward-compatible, so I think reading
articles about enhancements for c# 2.0 will help.

There have been only five noteworthy changes to C# 2.0 from beta 1 to
beta 2, see

I guess there'll be very little change between beta 2 and the final
release. Microsoft needs this to be stable to finish a lot of other
things that will be released with Visual Studio 2005.

So don't hesitate to buy C# Precisely for that reason
