C# Interviews on the horizon
-
I picked up C# in the early 2000's but I have been writing Python for the last 3 years but I am looking at moving back into C#. The last time I wrote C# proffesionally I remember .net Core being talked about but had not had a need to use it. If I had say a week to prepare for interviews are there any tips as to what should I read up on ? Thanks in advance.

Probably lots: C# is not the language it was back in 2005 or so. It has lambdas, generics, a bunch of different syntax added, and that's scratching the surface of .NET changes / .NET Core. Back then, it didn't have
var, much lessdynamic, generic collections, Linq, anonymous methods, of quite of lot of the stuff we use everyday without thinking about. A week to catch up? That's pushing it ... I doubt you would get to the point where you'd impress enough at an interview to make it worth your investment. I'd go for a month, and get a good solid book - the update on the text you used back then might help - and see how far you can get."I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

I think you misunderstand, I was programming c# from alpha up to the end of 2016. I was using lambdas , var and dynamic at that point. I was using features of c# V5 with asynch and await , and using mvc 5.2 but I have not had my eye on the c# ball since then . So I am looking for anything that has caught on recently. E.g Being in the Mac and Linux world for the last 3 years I was excited by the potential of .net core, but I do not know what has really caught on. (trying to seperate the marketting hype from reality on the ground if that makes sense).

New Features in C# 6.0[^] New Features of C# 8[^] These should keep you updated about new language features since C# 5.
