Hi all, I have a friend who is learning C# (and the .NET framework) for the first time. He is specifically learning so he can write in XNA. He's an accomplished programmer (typically writing code in Pascal/Delphi and C/C++) so I've been trying to give him some direction on what some of the most important differences are. So far I've tried to explain the value/reference type distinction and when and how the garbage collector works. Other than that I've given him a list of things to investigate: Properties, Attributes, System.Nullable, Generics, etc.
What would you say the most important aspects of the language are? What makes C# a unique and useful language? What makes .NET a useful platform? -- Michael M. Minutillo Indiscriminate Information Sponge Blog: http://wolfbyte-net.blogspot.com
