LINQ is the major new feature and it's a big one.... If you're already
familiar with .NET 3.0 I would recommend picking up the book
Pro LINQ (Lanuage Integrated Query in C# 2008) Rattz, Jr. Apress.
2007. as a supplement on LINQ, as Cnu said the other new 3.5 features
seem to exist to support LINQ.

(Duggi's list)

Just for completeness - most of those are C# 3 changes, not .NET 3.5
changes. I'll re-arrange:

C# 3 (fine on .NET 2.0/3.0):

Auto Implemented Properties
Local Type Inferences
Collection Initializers
Anonymous Types
Lambda Statements/Expressions [as delegates]
LINQ [syntax support without any specific implementation]

C# 3 with runtime support (fine on .NET 2.0/3.0 with a few extra
types):

LINQ-to-Objects [for example, LINQBridge]
Extension Methods [via additional attribute declaration]

C# 3 with .NET 3.5:

LINQ [standard implementations - LINQ-to-SQL, LINQ-to-Objects, etc]
Lambda Statements/Expressions [as Expressions]
Extension Methods [using standard MS attribute]

Or Jon Skeets book to cover the entire C# 3.0 ...
