    It's one more proof, if one was needed, how simple is C#, in a Nutshell! :D Seriously, I love C#, I do think it's simple and elegant. But as I reflect on my.... 20 years opf working with.. I realized, over time, well.. there is so much to learn to really master it! :O :/ However, while the syntax had lots of additional complexity added since the day of C# 1.0 (generics, auto enumerable with yield, async/await, LINQ, lambda, pattern matching) the pure syntax is still relatively simple. What really gets you is the numerous essential API to do various task, such as Web App, Desktop APP (like 4 type of Windows desktop app?), console app, phone app, game, etc... :)

      Some things have larger nutshells, I guess. Just make sure you memorize that book, because it's just the basics you need to know to get started. :rolleyes:

            And it's probably (almost) outdated with C# 11 coming out now. * Not so much outdated as not including the latest features / syntax.

              I used to have a copy of (I think) "C# 3 In a Nutshell" and believe that was about half the size of your book... Remember when C# was simple and easy to use before the CS nerds ;P got their claws into it? sigh...

                Maybe "C# on a grain of rice" would be more to your liking?

                        Actually, it's about 20 pages or so of C#; the rest is the "framework" / class libraries.

                        "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
