Why Mark J. Price’s “C# 14 and .NET 10” Belongs on Every Modern .NET Developer’s Desk
A Comprehensive Update That Justifies Its Place on Your Shelf
As someone who has followed the evolution of development platforms across decades, I can confidently say this is the essential purchase for any C# developer looking to stay current with .NET 10. Even if you own the .NET 9 edition, this book earns its place in your library.
Why This Edition Matters
Mark Price has put considerable effort into updating every page for this new version—and it shows. This isn’t a lazy refresh with minor tweaks; it’s a thorough revision that covers the meaningful changes in C# 14 and .NET 10, from the new NumericOrdering option and OrderedDictionary enhancements to field modifiers, partial events, and instance constructors.
The book excels at its stated purpose: providing an easy-to-follow guide through the fundamentals. It strikes that sweet spot between beginner-friendly and substantive enough for intermediate developers to learn something new.
