Review: A creative way of learning - This book has been an amazing tool on my journey to learn C#. It's filled with an assortment of tests that quickly teach you the fundamentals of C# in a unique and memorable way. Alongside the main tests there are a series of side quests that will help you dig deeper into more advanced subjects and while optional, really help solidify what you have learned if you make the time for them. The author is very active in his Discord and makes a lot of time for anyone that needs help or has further questions. I really can't recommend this book enough if you have any interest in picking up C#!
Review: Superb - one of the best guides I've read. - Absolutely fantastic. I was recommend two C# books, this and a complete guide to C# (I think it's called that) I chose this in the end. I've never used any code outside of very basic excel functions. I wouldn't say I'm particularly smart either. This book however is easy even for the likes of me, i feel like a genuis after making it through some of tasks as it's so easy to digest! Everything is clear and has examples. It does a really good job of building up the challenges so you learn a bit code a bit and this carrys on until you are surprised at what you can actually do. Thanks for writing this, it's really helped me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, some explanations could be a little clearer though
*by C***L on 24 September 2023*

For some context, I already had some novice experience with web development, python and JavaScript before starting to learn C# with this book. As of this review I am just arriving at Part 3 - Advanced Topics, which the author describes as a 'Side Quest' - so in other words, I've got a good amount of the main focus points of the book covered (Parts 1 and 2). First of all it's a great book, generally easy to follow, and generally examples shown are good. However there have so far been 2 or 3 times where I've felt a bit lost and unsure as to what the author was explaining. An example of this was Object Initialiser Syntax - It wasn't clear to me why I would use this syntax over just using the constructor and passing in parameters. There are times in the book where the author will explain one way of doing things, then explain another way, but in my opinion, doesn't clearly explain the difference between the two methods and why choose one over the other. Again, this only happened a couple times but it led to me asking ChatGPT to explain. I will also say that maybe I just need to go back and re-read some sections in case it was explained. The book's accompanying website, while I haven't yet used it, is a great resource to have and includes free expansions for newer versions of C# along with problem solutions. There's also a Discord server for discussion about the book, with the author. It's a fun book to work through and something different from the norm. Overall a great book and I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn C#.
