  1. it's good to go over the basics sometimes. but i would say it that this is a bit above the basics. it's not what you would give to a beginning C# programmer

  2. i strongly disagree with the excuse of not running long running operations in the constructor. it's like saying that long running operations can't create anything. it's just a convenient lie, for the C# language designers, that actually harms how generic the language is. let programmers decide whether having a guaranteed initialized object is worth cost of waiting (which has to happen regardless, now it's just in the wrong place). i bet you it's worth it the majority of the time. i have similar but less strong feeling about the lack of async operations in properties
