Cardsmith's C# Q&A How To Study the String Class and the StringBuilder Class

Picture this: You’re studying for a C# exam and you discover the books you’ve already bought don’t cover an important topic well enough. The natural solution is to buy yet another C# book that covers that topic better. But how much money have you already spent on C# books that are incomplete and hard to read? Do you have to buy a book for every topic in C#? What if you discover that this latest book still doesn’t cover the topic well enough and uses such big words that it’s like reading The Teachings of Spock in the original Vulcan?
Cardsmith’s C# Q&A How To Study Guides are the answer. Each study guide covers only one topic, so you only need to buy the eBook that covers that topic … in depth! That can save you 60% to 90% of the price of another C# book!
Cardsmith’s C# Q&A How To Study Guides are easy to use. Study them just like flashcards. They’ll help you prepare for any C# exam. First, read the whole study guide. Then go back and read each question, one at a time. If you know the answer, go to the next question. If you don’t know that answer, highlight the question and your Kindle Reader allows you to create a custom deck of flashcards with Kindle’s powerful new flashcard feature. Perfect!
Cardsmith’s C# Q&A How To Study Guides put ALL that topic’s information in one place. You don’t have to search 10 or 12 books to get ALL the details of each topic.
And Cardsmith’s C# Q&A How To Study Guides are written in the clearest possible English … no Vulcan allowed!
At first, I had a hard time understanding the “best C# books.” They had lots of Vulcanisms like:
# Implement this, implement that.
# This exposed that and that exposed this.
# This emitted, transformed, or projected into that.
Wow! Then, after a few months of banging my head against the “best C# books”, I caught a whiff of understanding; these writers weren’t using big words to show off … at least not all of them. Maybe they think big words are more accurate. Or maybe they think big words are required for academic correctness. Frustrating!
When my mother wanted me to close the door, did she say, “Implement closure of the devise that transforms the separation of the outside from the inside?” No! She said, “Close the door!” … simple, direct words that even a child could understand.
So I decided to translate the Vulcan gobbledygook into words I could understand; simple words like my mother used when teaching 3-year old little me. That’s when the flashcards started. And they helped … a lot! After a few months, I had enough to publish. And that, Virginia, is how the elephant learned to fly.
Ann Handley says in her book Everybody Writes*, “Make it clear. Don’t make the reader work hard to understand you. Develop pathological empathy for the reader. … And finally, make it useful. Readers will read what you write only if something is in it for them.”
There are my marching orders! And here is my promise to you: I will do my best to explain these complex C# topics using only the clearest English. No Vulcan allowed!
