- sndean 6y agoRelated to C#, "M. de Champlain, Ph.D., Chief Architect of the B#" and "B. G. Patrick, Ph.D." are listed. They wrote a C# book: C# 2.0: Practical Guide for Programmers. Going to de Champlain's website [0], he lists himself as the creator of B#, and his Google Scholar page [1] lists articles and a book about B#. In the articles they say B# is similar to C# and list some examples. I can't find a copy of the book, though. Brian Patrick also lists the book [2], so I'd think it must be somewhere.
