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          And it's probably (almost) outdated with C# 11 coming out now. * Not so much outdated as not including the latest features / syntax.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