The second I read the title and noticed it was a Stack Overflow question, I knew that there would be an answer from Jon Skeet.

I'm not usually prone to hero worship, but I've got a lot of time for him. His book C# in Depth is absolutely fantastic, he's helped me (and probably many others on here) with questions on SO, and he comes across as such a nice guy.



There is a really great Scott Hanselman podcast where he invited Jon Skeet on to chat at CodeMash. Fascinating insight into how the guy ticks: http://www.hanselminutes.com/302/being-a-phony-with-jon-skee...


I only tick in .NET.

In Java I millisecond instead.


Haha! Good to see you here Jon! I went to reading festival last year, was hoping I'd bump into you actually... Nevermind ;)


Wooah. I used to live in Reading. Small world.
