So far, it's definitely worth the price. The instructor knows most of the people who created the language (C#) personally, and even made a few minor contributions himself. My lab partner is very smart but gets lost in different areas, and so far we're working together well. My aborted attempt to teach myself the language has stood me well... so far it's mostly a matter of remembering rather than learning. That will change, but hopefully I'll have much more confidence when it does.
Hmm. C# didn't seem too different from C++ when I was learning it. Is this the Micrsoft Visual C#, or something else altogether?

and inheritence, encapsulation, and polymorphism is what its all about!

Worse, they can't be easily understood from a machine code standpoint, since their implementation is wholly dependent on the proprietary .NET libraries.
