Packt first contacted me about writing this book nearly a year ago. It's been a long journey, harder than I anticipated at times, and I've learned a lot. The book you hold now is the culmination of many long days, and I'm proud to finally present it.

Having written this book about C# means a lot to me as it has always been a dream of mine to write about the language that I started my career with. C# has really grown in leaps and bounds since it was first introduced..NET Core has actually enhanced the power and reputation of C# within the developer community.
