I have an old ArcObjects textbook from when I studied ArcMap many years ago.
Is this still useful in Pro?
Maybe for the logic, but things are much different in the Pro SDK. A good place to start is the Migrating to ArcGIS Pro page in the documentation
After glancing through the ArcObjects pages it appears as though much of this can now be accomplished with ModelBuilder which is very user-friendly.
I look forward to never having to use .net SDK. I found my VBA .net book as well which I haven't used in at least 10 years if ever though I'm sure it was taught in some capacity at school. I've never used Avenue or even arcpy/Python. I'd upgrade my programming skills but as I rarely use they it would surely lapse.
I've yet to work on anything that requires me to use the ArcPro .Net SDK. Much of what I do now can be done with arcpy. That said when Pro arrived I did have a little play and what I picked up on was that the environment is asynchronous and esri provide templates to ensure best practise.
I think the object model is sufficiently different that some old dusty ArcObjects manual is now not relevant. But if you work in a environment where ArcMap still rules supreme or with clients who are unwilling to update it might just be worth keeping hold of for a couple more years? I still have an Avenue guide on my bookshelf! Now I'm showing my age... 😁
YES -- it can be useful not just for Pro but for EVERY app on your computer. My LCD monitor stand is too short so I use books to lift it up to the ergonomically correct height.
I have not had to touch the SDK since I quit writing custom C# applications, I do sometimes rarely have to write REST calls to get things that are not already in the Python API, but that's it for me.
(I recycled my C# books. Not going back there again ever.)
I rarely used ArcObjects as it is and hope to never need the new SDK.
Thanks.
