Giving Away C# Books

The lab before we started. Apparently we’ve replaced over half the machines over summer…
Today was the first programming lab. Great fun. All the students turned up and were given a memory key (for files) and a copy of the Yellow Book for 2011-2012 (How quickly the years go by). If you want an electronic copy you can head over to www.csharpcourse.com for a PDF.
Trust me, in real life it is actually very yellow indeed.
My favourite moment in the lab was when a student asked me a question and I didn’t know the answer. “Can’t you tell me roughly"?” he enquired “I don’t know.” I said in my best gravelly voice.
Welcome to Hull.

I always try to be honest with them and tell them the truth: "sorry don't know", though after I usually spend the end of the day trying to find out...
And after the student forgets that she/he asked the question! :)
Great job you do in writing clear and pleasant readable C# programming books.
Just for curiosity can you also publish your latest version 3.0 here?
Also looking forward to any future follow up videos on your Windows Phone Mango series. Great stuff. Afraight wanting to become one of those newly Windows Phone 7 developers. Quit addictive.
