As one of the most versatile and powerful programming languages around, you might think C# would be an intimidating language to learn. It doesn’t have to be!

In Beginning C# and .NET: 2021 Edition, expert Microsoft programmer and engineer Benjamin Perkins and program manager Jon D. Reid walk you through the precise, step-by-step directions you’ll need to follow to become fluent in the C# language and .NET.
