For example, in many projects throughout the book, you’ll get practice with debugging techniques for tracking down, “sleuthing” out, and fixing bugs in your code-and you’ll use the powerful debugging features of Visual Studio to help you do it. We teach important, practical skills throughout Head First C# that developers use every day, from refactoring to debugging to unit testing. Visual Studio is built with modern development in mind, and we take advantage of that to teach you real-world programming techniques and practices. combining Visual Studio with the unique and innovative “brain-friendly” Head First approach to teaching helps us make learning C# easier and more fun for our readers. Head First C# incorporates Visual Studio directly in the learning. That’s why my co-author, Jenny Greene, and I put Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac right at the center of our latest book, Head First C# (4 th edition), published by O’Reilly Media. I love teaching and learning about C# with Visual Studio. They’re also remarkably powerful learning and exploration tools, with features to help you create and understand your code. But Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac are more than just intuitive, state-of-the-art development environments. Visual Studio is an amazing development tool.

We will be announcing winners on the Visual Studio blog within the next week. UPDATE: The book giveaway challenge is complete. This post was authored by guest blogger Andrew Stellman, author of the Head First C# book series, and published by the Visual Studio for Mac team on his behalf.
