I have no desire to master yet-another programming language. I don't. I've barely gotten into Java and Python, my C is still good and my C++ is under-used. I have forgotten Fortran, assembler, and any COBOL that I once knew. APL interests me as a demonstration of important concepts, not something I want to program in. I have work to do on my own "language" for use with the Miser Project, and my time is more productively spent there than in mastering C#.
Nevertheless, I find some aspects of C# that are important to identify and appreciate, possibly for application in the Miser Project, and certainly for comprehension in delivering reliable software into the future Microsoft .NET environment.
Apparently, there was not even enough interest to hold onto that book. It disappeared sometime in my recent down-sizing. I have to add that I also discovered that F# is also not for me, even though I'd thought it would be in the right ballpark. Not happening. I did find SML/NJ very interesting though and some of Miser's Frugalese is inspired by that. There are other parts of functional-programming notations that I have not adopted. That will be explained later, elsewhere.

- I am using the O'Reilly C# Essentials as a way to check on areas of C# that attract my interest. I also have access to the specifications, which is what I normally use when I seek precision and rigor. But my interest doesn't take me that far at this point.
