Yep. I adopted that approach many years ago and it still hasn't let me down.

Nor I.
And the best bit is that it takes a positive effort to not keep it.

My resolution for 2016 was to be a failure.
Then in 2016 I got a good pay raise, wrote a book, scored a new book contract, got my name on the cover of a book I reviewed, released my own library on npm and NuGet, maybe win a prize for my latest article and paid off a lot on my house.
Needless to say my resolution failed miserably.
I'm such a failure

If I were you, I'd make the same resolution again!

Ah, but I didn't commit to doing anything in 2016.
I'll discern appropriate actions when 2017 comes around...

One of mine was to complete the CQRS designer project.
How did I do on that? Well let's just say one of my 2017 resolutions is to complete the CQRS designer project

I'll probably have my New Year's resolution done in a month or two? Does that count? It doesn't On the bright side I've been working a year already on my New Year's resolution for next year

My resolution 2 years ago was to eat anything I wanted and gain 10 pounds. I failed, in that I only gained 5 pounds.
My resolution last year was to eat anything I wanted and gain 5 pounds. Mission successful!
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Very easy one today as 99% of people are probably on holiday next week so won't want to answer ...

Yes, that's the one - I guess that makes you the CCC Christmas champion (the CCCCC?)

Is it OK if I resume on Wednesday? Tuesday is a bang collar day here
|

I can't imagine there'll be too many people around on Tuesday. Personally, I'll be giving my keyboard a rest for the whole week. 10 glorious .NET free days - what more can a man ask for?

Last year we cancelled it until the new year it seems, so I'm happy if you want to re-start on Monday 2nd, or possibly Tuesday 3rd.
Since most of the western world shuts down for the week between Xmas and New Year it does make some sense.

Having been a hobbyist coder since 1900 and frozen to death, I've always used VB and VB.net; I know, I know, we don't need to go there! Anyway, as I'm now starting to get on in years, I think it's time I learnt a new programming language and C# comes to mind.
My question is, can someone recommend a good beginners book on C#? I know about Rob Miles' The C# Programming Yellow Book but this is only available on Kindle. I need an actual book. I don't really want one of those 'Learn C# in 24 Hours' nonsense; I'd like something that eases you into the language and then gets into the more technical stuff.
Any recommendations; any book(s) that anyone has found really useful?

I'm using the second recommended book to learn .Net Core and C#, and it looks a good book but I'm not that far into it yet. Well written with everything clearly described. I'm having problems with some of the illustrations though. They don't match the actual screens in the installed code - ASP.NET 2015 Community Edition - which is a bit off-putting..

C# == VB.NET with slightly different syntax.
Some people may argue on the "slightly" part, but unless you still use VB6 libraries in your VB.NET code I think it would be more helpful to get a C# vs. VB.NET syntax comparison.
Something like this: VB.NET and C# Comparison[^]
Or this: Complete Comparison for VB.NET and C#[^]
Google is your friend.
I've switched from VB.NET to C# and only found myself really struggling with syntax on the first day and looking things up in the first month or so.
Any book on C# will probably spend one chapter on syntax and 10 chapters on stuff you already know like IO, Serialization, Collections, etc.

In my case, then about once every 2 months getting really annoyed that you can't put an enum in an interface definition...
