I tend to subscribe to the belief that programmers with some C background are typically better off than those without. This is largely because C is far less abstract from the underlying O/S and hardware than languages like C# or Java – specifically the memory model. This kind of knowledge is just handy to have – even for day to day programming.

Having an understanding of how/where variables are created (stack/heap) and the differences between reference types vs value types is indispensable when working with abstract language like C#.
