@Anirudhababagohokar Because they're smarter than the crap they teach.

@Anirudhababagohokar because school is a waste of time and effort they try to shape your mind to be a sheep and get a regular job after graduation. they dont teach you deeply into the subject just technical fast mechanical solving methods proved by trial and error. your brain and desire is the greatest school ever!

This guy is a genius. I used to love Turbo Pascal in the 80's. Now I am a huge fan of C#. He is the man behind both these great products.

Could you recommend some excellent material to learn linq?, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi

I am hoping to contact Anders Hejlsberg. I am about to publish a book on C# for music technology. Since there are many problems in downloading C# on Windows platforms, I plan to include this language on a CD in my book. Purchasers of the book then avoid problems downloading : it instals easily from CD. Where may I acquire a copy of C# on CD since the language is absend from bookshops and magazines? Does anyone know where I may contact the Danish man?

It's wonderful to look back at this and see they were thinking about LINQ at 44:03 without letting the cat out of the bag, but then at 46:30, he specifically mentions it.

LINQ is the BEST!
