Is there a decent Modern C# tutorial or book? I learned it in early 2000's, which was lacking many the new features and syntax improvements.

The official "Programming Guide" is very nice: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-g.... The docs in general are quite good.

There's plenty of online resources to learn C#, starting with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/dotnet/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/dotnet/ If you'd rather have a book, and enjoy the Head First series, the 4th edition of Head First C# will be released on the 26th: https://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Learners-Real-World-Programming/dp/1491976705 https://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Learners-Real-World-Progra...

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tutorials/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tutorials/ Has a pretty decent set of tutorials and docs, from basics of the language to nice descriptions of new features like record types or new nullable reference type approach. Not sure about any books, I strongly prefer to just read through 'What's new in C# X' articles every time a new version comes out.

C# in Depth does exactly what you need, starts from C# 2.0 and cover all new features added in newer versions. https://www.manning.com/books/c-sharp-in-depth-fourth-edition?query=c# https://www.manning.com/books/c-sharp-in-depth-fourth-editio...

  Seconded. Any book I've ever gotten in the "in Depth" series from Manning has been excellent, and this one is no different.

I’d recommend “Functional Programming in C#” to supplement your main reference material.

Essential C# 8.0 - hands down. It is awesome both for beginners and experts. I've read it once, and keep it handy for reference. It's written by some of the most knowledgeable people there are on C#/.NET. I have also read one of the Head First C# books, and found it lacking once I got past the basics.
