Best books for .Net development – My Recommendations

Today my manager asked me to list some good technical .net books on which our management had planned to invest.

I always had a wish list for technical books; I could easily  arrive at a list.

I categorized the books as follows:

1. Programming.Net (That helps core programming. Mostly on C# core and ASP.NET core)
2. Design/Architecture/Guidelines (Design Patterns, Best Practices, Modeling Patterns)
3. Concepts (General concepts for programming, UI design)
4. Source control / Build & deployment

I didn’t cover books on WCF/WPF/Silver Light/RESTful services/ASP.NET MVC/Entity Framework as I don’t have enough knowledge on those books.
