Today’s half-price E-Book Deal of the Day from O’Reilly at http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781849690782.do?code=MSDEALhttp://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781849690782.do?code=MSDEAL is .NET 4.0 Generics. (As it is the weekend, this deal will probably be available to early Monday morning.)
“Generics were added as part of .NET Framework 2.0 in November 2005. Although similar to generics in Java, .NET generics do not apply type erasure but every object has unique representation at run-time. There is no performance hit from runtime casts and boxing conversions, which are normally expensive..NET offers type-safe versions of every classical data structure and some hybrid ones.”
