Mostly, yes.

This book is about the core language. Its really very good for that. Hacking 
Mono sources is probably mostly framework. I can't say I would know much 
about that, really, and the book is _not_ about the framework, but the 
language.

Please note, that it is quite short and concise - it really is a nice book if 
you already know how to program (which I am sure you do).
