How to understand Richter's book if you are a beginner?

Question

.NET

I am learning to work with .NET. I myself am a beginner. programmed very little in javascript.
Reading this book CLR via C#. Jeffrey Richter - know she's like a taboo. The bottom line is that I understand very little. For example, I realized that there are value and reference types, but what are they for? why, and so on .... did not understand.
I know that when I read it and use it, then understanding will come, but once again the deadlines are running out.
Tell me what aspects you need to know and understand. And how best to parse these aspects? and understand? in a short time ((
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

IMHO: The fact that you read books is great, but since you are a beginner , you don’t need to bother yourself with this Richter yet. Read those while general things on OOP, programming principles, look at patterns, books on refactoring and algorithms, see how other people program, in the future it will be of great benefit to you.
C# is just a tool for performing some of your tasks , and Richter's book just talks about the features of this language (a description of this tool), what's the point if you know the language deeply and all its nuances and features when your code when compiling, it dies in bugs and after 2 months you no longer understand what and how it works for you. And adding new functionality leads to a hell of bugs and guts.
Knowing the basics, it will not even be difficult to choose a tool for solving your problems, be it C # or some other language.

Answer 2

I would not recommend starting with this book, there are many subtleties, but not all the basic things are there. Start with something simpler. Albahari for example or Schildt. Here's how you deal with them, then you can take on Richter. And I don’t see the point of injecting and continuing to eat a cactus.

Answer 3

CLR via C# is a great book, but for a beginner to write Sharpe, you don't need to know Richter's material. Get started with tutorials like this or this .

Answer 4

Thanks for answers. I agree with you, but there is a but. I want to get on the project and knowledge will be needed there. they check knowledge on this book (that's why they will ask me about it. So it is necessary in a short time to understand this book or the most important information from this book.
Apply this information, not the fact that I will, but again, they will ask me on it.
Maybe someone met explanations or explanations, only in simpler language with this book? very necessary.
Thank you
