To get the most out of this book

To fully benefit from this book, it’s important to have a basic understanding of programming principles and familiarity with object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. Knowledge of basic C# syntax and structure will be advantageous, as the book progresses into more advanced topics. While a background in software development is helpful, it’s not essential, as the book starts with foundational concepts before moving on to complex ones. This guide assumes that you are keen to deepen your C# knowledge, improve your interview skills, and are ready to engage with both the theoretical and practical aspects of programming and career development.
