The C# community is very different in 2010 than it was in 2004 when the
first edition of Effective C# was published. There are many more developers
using C#. A large contingent of the C# community is now seeing C# as
their first professional language. They aren’t approaching C# with a set of
ingrained habits formed using a different language. The community has a
much broader range of experience. New graduates all the way to professionals
with decades of experience are using C#.
