C# in Depth: Puzzles, Gotchas, Questions at Interviews

This is an advanced C# course.

Build a solid foundation in C# learning odd cases related to how the language is designed

This course contains mostly practical puzzles learning which you get a better C# developer. You can find out on the Internet tons of impractical puzzles which don't make you a better C# developer. This is not about this course. Yes of course even impractical puzzles sometimes are helpful especially if you're preparing for a C# interview. However I bet on puzzles which teach you the thing you absolutely need to understand. Indeed this course deepens your understanding of C#. Apart from that you'll learn some very important things like the problem of types substitution. You'll learn about the fundamental problems related to processing date and time values. Believe me you'll be astonished!

This course is built in a manner of a game. I'll show you code examples in Visual Studio and ask to answer the question related to that code example. You'll have some time to come up with your own answer and after that we continue. Puzzles gotchas and cautionary tales are presented here to frighten and inspire you! Regardless of your current skills you'll remember things you've forgotten learn things you didn't know and become a more robust programmer.

So this course is must see for anyone who wants to improve his knowledge of C#.
