This book aims to "shake off the dusty, dull, dryness of the typical programming book, replacing it with something more exciting and flavorful: a bit of humor, a casual tone, and examples involving dragons and asteroids instead of bank accounts and employees". R B Whitaker shows how to program by doing instead of just reading, with over 100 hands-on programming challenges. The book covers the C# language from the ground up, but it also doesn’t hold back on exciting, powerful language features.

• The journey begins by getting you set up to program in C#.
• We will then explore the basic mechanics of C#: statements, expressions, variables, if statements, loops, and methods.
• Next, we dive deep into a powerful and central feature of C#: object-oriented programming, which is an essential tool needed to build larger programs.
• We then look at the advanced C# features that make the language unique, elegant, and powerful.
