To get the most out of this book
You will want to have at least fundamental experience with an object-oriented language, especially C#. You do not need to know the latest advances in C#, and the example code is explained in depth. You will want the latest version of Visual Studio; the Community Edition is free and will work fine. If you are on a Mac (or Linux), the examples should work fine with Visual Studio for Mac, although they were not developed on a Mac.
