AFAIK, C# is quite different from C or C++. It is my understanding that it is closer to Objective-C or Smalltalk. Don't be misled by the syntax, what matters is the semantics. That said I don't know anything about C# so I may be wrong. Probably the most effective thing you can do to learn how to write beautiful software, is to study SICP: SICP = Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-4.html http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ http://www.codepoetics.com/wiki/index.php?title=Topics:SICP_in_other_languages http://eli.thegreenplace.net/category/programming/lisp/sicp/ http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-plt/ As you may note with the link SICP_in_other_languages, SICP is not specifically about scheme (it just happen to use scheme for the examples and exercises since it's a little language that's easy to learn). -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/
