Quick Look at C# 6.0 (E-Book)
Jason Roberts' e-book on C# 6 gets to a rolling start. And it's free, so you can't argue about the price at all.
Jason Roberts. I think you know this guy. He's written a few articles for Visual Studio Magazine (here, here and here are just a few). But you probably knew him first from his blog, Don't Code Tired, if you ran across his name outside the context of VSM. On his blog, he's posted a link to his free e-book, C# 6.0: What's New Quick Start. It's actually the first portion of a larger, ongoing publication that he'll be posting as he finishes each section, but this part covers "the new features added in C# 6.0 and provide a quick start to those new to version 6 or as a handy reference to those already using C# 6.0."
And don't forget the resources here on Visual Studio Magazine as well:
Speaking of books+free, Microsoft Press has weekly free offerings on its site. Those offerings are available only for a week, like this one: Enterprise Mobility with App Management, Office 365, and Threat Mitigation: Beyond BYOD, which is available only until this Sunday. A new free e-book will be available on Monday, so be sure to check back o that site. Happy learning!
