Dreaming In Code is a decent book, not for teaching you coding, but it documents the successes and pitfalls of developing the Chandler Project[^].

I use FairUse wizard, just set a max file size, put the disc in and let it do its thing for a few hours while I'm at work or in another room watching TV or something. I'd highly recommend it for just plain simplicity really.

You can use DateTime.Now.Month to return an int representation of the month. You can pass this to a function to switch on for the month name, IE:

switch(month)
{
case 1:
return "January";
case 2:
return "Feburary";
}
