Discuss C# with the “Head First C#” Author, Save Big Bucks on “Head First C#” Too!
Want to learn C# or brush up on it? From Wednesday, August 18th through Tuesday, August 24th, you can join Head First C# co-author Andrew Stellman and other techies in a week-long exchange about C# in an O’Reilly “Inner Circle” discussion, where he’ll talk about C#, .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010.
(If you’re a new programmer just getting started, Head First C# is a great book that will keep you engaged, even in those parts where the going gets a little tricky. If you’re an experienced programmer who’s new to C# – or like me, hadn’t used it in ages – it’s still a great read; just skip the basic parts and enjoy the “Head First” style in which it’s written. And yes, if you want to developer for Windows Phone 7, you’re going to need to know C#. Want to get Head First C# at a discounted price? See below for details.)
The discussion will span a wide range of topics, including:
- Why use C# instead of any other language?
- C# best practices
- Becoming a better C# developer
- Dealing with objects
- Productivity hints
- The best of C#
If you want to join in (I’ll be participating), register for the Andrew Stellman on C# discussion at O’Reilly . See you there!
