The specialist book “C# Crash Course”, which I have maintained for several years, is now available in an updated and expanded new edition for C# 12.0 with the language features that will be released on November 14, 2023 together with .NET 8.0.

Dr. Holger Schwichtenberg is Chief Technology Expert at MAXIMAGO, which offers innovation and experience-driven software development, including in highly critical safety-related areas. He is also head of the expert network www.IT-Visions.de, which supports numerous medium-sized and large companies with advice and training in the development and operation of software with 43 renowned experts.
Officially, C# 12.0 is only supported on .NET 8.0 by Microsoft. Just like previous versions, most language features also run on older .NET versions, including the classic .NET Framework. Therefore, the C# 12.0 crash course is subtitled “The syntax of the C# programming language for software development in .NET Framework, .NET Core, .NET 5.0/6.0/7.0 and 8.0”
This crash course is suitable for software developers who want to switch from another object-oriented programming language (e.g. C++, Java, Visual Basic .NET, Delphi or PHP) to C# or who already use C# and want to expand their knowledge, especially getting to know the latest language features. Since there are many people switching from Visual Basic .NET to C#, the differences between C# and Visual Basic .NET are highlighted here in a few places.
However, this work is not ideal for newcomers who want to learn an object-oriented programming language for the first time with C#, because the basic OO concepts are not explained, as most software developers today know them from other languages and the book does not cover these basics unnecessarily should be drawn out.
The book can be obtained in the following ways:
