Thank You, Jon Skeet!

Many years ago I purchased your book C# in Depth because I wanted to transition into C# development. I blogged about it, and you actually advised me to read something more introductory in the comments. 🙂

And it worked!

I’ve been developing C# professionally since 2010. Years (and versions) later you’re still helping me understand it. I reference the book frequently and you’ve even pointed me in the right direction via twitter recently!

And StackOverflow, so many times. I think this page sums it up pretty well: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2008/11/stack-overflow-is-you/

Here’s my favorite “fact”:
“Users don’t mark Jon Skeet’s answers as accepted. The universe accepts them out of a sense of truth and justice.”

THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!

I contribute to a podcast, and we’re talking about LINQ in the next episode. I keep coming back to it as .NET’s killer “feature” for developers, and I’m trying to really grok it. So, of course I pick up 2009 copy of “C# in Depth” and got something new out of it. You’re description of expression tree “sequences” was exactly what I was looking for.

So…that’s it. I just wanted to say thank you.

PS: 3rd edition is on it’s way 🙂
