The book is divided in to three progressive levels. In the first beginner stage the author discusses the .Net Framework, C# Language Fundamentals and Object Oriented Programming. In the second intermediate section he goes into depth with Object Oriented constructs such as inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, interfaces, structures, enumerations and exceptions.

With C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition, you'll be able to learn and improve your
mastery of both the C# language and the .NET platform. This updated
bestseller has been completely revised to account for C# 2.0, the latest
version of this popular object-oriented programming language. It also
includes more than 100 new code solutions (over 300 overall) to common

Nearly every solution, or "recipe," contains a complete, documented code
sample showing you how to solve the specific problem, as well as a
detailed discussion of how and why the underling technology works. This
question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any
fan of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series can attest to. In fact, no other

C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition is organized into 20 chapters, each of which
focuses on a particular topic in creating C# solutions. Here's just a
- Numeric data types
- Strings and characters
- Classes and structures
- Generics
- Exception handling
- Delegates, events, and anonymous methods
- Filesystem interactions
- Web site access
- XML usage (including XPath and XSLT)
- Networking
- Threading
- Unsafe code

Best of all, you don't have to be an experienced C# or .NET developer to
use C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition. You just have to be someone who wants to
solve a problem now, without having to learn all the related theory
first.
