Reddit reviews C# in Depth

Some of these comments, honestly.

Ignore the trolls.

I'd recommend you buy a book or download one about C#.

Start with tutorials, simple stuff and build on it. There's plenty of examples online and YouTube is also a good source of knowledge.

If you can afford to pay, try pluralsight website. It's really good for content and I'm currently going through their Angular course.

Once you feel comfortable, try building a simple project like a command line app. It doesn't matter what, but keep practicing your skills and using the knowledge you learned.

More importantly, stick to one language at the time ;)

I think you may be putting too much weight on one single negative video review. There are tons of other reviews out there in other media that are really quite favourable, see these from Amazon for example.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to watch that video, but I'll give my spiel anyways:

The book is not meant to be an introduction for beginners, and it's not meant to be a systematic exposition of C#'s features. I think of it more as taking us on a journey through the history of C#, to foster a deep conceptual understanding of why C# was designed the way it was.

> if I said anything that doesn't make sense it probably doesn't, so don't hurt me.

Haha. No worries. You're good.

I think I'm following you now. Like, I said previously, I was more up on C# years ago. These days, I do most of my development in Python, but still follow along in C# forums just to try to stay current on the language (because I like it as a language.)

If you're interested in a "deep dive" of the C# language, I highly recommend "C# in Depth" by Jon Skeet.

It's definitely not a book from which to learn the language. It's more a book about how and why the language is built the way it is.

Regarding the topic at hand: Tuples -- Jon covers it in Chapter 11 of the 4th (and most recent) edition of his book. There's about 30 pages dedicated to the topic and he covers:

• using tuples to compose data
  
• tuple syntax: literals and types
  
• converting tuples
  
• how tuples are represented in the .NET common language runtime (CLR)
  
• alternatives to tuples
  
  Hope this helps.

One of my absolute favourite coding books has been C# in Depth by Jon Skeet. It will help a lot in gaining a better understanding of the different concepts in the language by taking you on a journey from when the different features first showed up to where they are today. (presonally I only had the second edition, which covered up to C#4. However, I've seen that the latest, fourth edition covers the language up to C#7 and the future of C#, peeking at upcoming features of the language and discussing its future course)

It will make you appreciate the languages compexity, and the work that has been put into it to allow for ease of writing, as well as allowing you to think more carefully about how you implement and design your own solutions in the best way possible by considering the inner works of the language.
