Q&A with Wouter de Kort, author of “Exam Ref 70-483: Programming in C#”
Q. Why is your book important right now?
A. C# is one of the most popular languages of this time. In 2012, C# was even chosen as the programming language of the year. Certifying yourself as a C# developer can be a great asset for potential employers. Studying for your certification will also help you in exploring areas of the C# language that you don’t have much experience with.

Programming in C# is important both for new developers who want a head start and for experienced developers who want to make sure they understand all aspects of the language.
Q. What do you hope readers will walk away with?
A. After reading this book you will prepared for getting your certification as a C# developer. But even if that’s not your goal I’m certain that you will learn new tricks from this book that can help you in your work as a developer.
