Solution explorer, partly because I always have, partly because there's usually more in a solution than just classes.

Depends what I'm doing. For the most part, solution explorer is the more useful view. I have no idea as to whether or not class view was ever popular and, therefore, suffered a demise thereafter.

Solution Explorer primarily. But I wonder if the Class View would help in managing partial classes implemented across multiple files....

Hmm, I'll have to try class view. It's alphabetic, which is useful.

Let's see. Ruby. Javascript. Python...
Honestly, I don't think most developers really understand the purpose of classes and how to use them. Certainly in C#, I imagine the popular concept of a class is "well, methods have to be wrapped in a class."

There was a lot of fanfare around the upcoming Anniversary Update for Windows 10, including Windows Subsystem for Linux.
However, the planned release date of August 2nd has come and gone, and there seems to be not a sign of the final version.
Anyone heard anything?

Recently I found myself looking through a textbook to find some data time stuff, and I found it somewhat refreshing to go to an index page then turn to a page? Does anybody else find themselves looking over textbooks and manuals for your questions and how to?

Not since the DOS 5.1 manual. Today, we have MSDN.

Sigh.. 5.0; twas a big fat reference-manual, with complete syntax for each command; over 500 pages. Later versions did not come with a big manual, but with a small booklet, mostly disclaimer.

I haven't opened a single paper book since I got my tablet in 2012...

I take it your read the manuals in their electronic format?

Yes - or MSDN / Google.
PDF's on the PC can be a pain (they don't like to remember the page you were on, and for a 1000 page book it's not worth adding bookmarks as it takes a while to save) but... they have search facilities which moves them leaps and bounds beyond paper versions.

OG, my biggest complaint with PDFs is that I should be able to link to a specific page when I open one!
This just reminded me, although I do go ahead and use book marks, despite taking time to save them.

I still use text books for learning new tech, I'll pick up a Wrox book or something and go through it. I know that's terrible old-fashioned of me, I should really find a tech forum and ask "How to get data from user then store data in database then search data and show results then export to pdf?". Learning how to code an entire discipline from a form post is far more efficient, but I just like wasting my time.

Same here. I buy how-to books when learning something new, although these days I buy them in kindle format as they are a lot lighter. I much prefer hard copy ... but it's much handier to have the book on my phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.
Learning -- hard copy
Research -- soft copy
Forums can be useful when I'm trying to solve a single problem ... but there's so much chaff that sometimes that isn't easier, either.
