    Haven't had much luck searching for this in the forums or online. I've done some programming in VB.NET and want to make the jump to C#. A lot of the beginning C# books are a little too introductory. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a book that is more focused on learning the language, syntax, and features of the language rather than a ground up intro to the .Net framework, OOP, etc... Any insight/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

      Illustrated C# 2005 or any Apress books are good.


      Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before. Neo: That's why it's going to work.

        If in doubt use {}, end everything with ; and never ever captilize the first letter, ever ;) Seriously though, if you're comfortable and familiar with the framework and concepts of OO it won't be that hard. I have an idea to help though. The following is a pretty good code converter, try writing VB stuff and see how it looks in C#: http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeTranslator/Default.aspx[^] Doesn't do generics though.

        ------------------------------------------------ I'm largely language agnostic - After a while they all bug me :wtf: ------------------------------------------------

            addendum: Use capitals only when forced to by the bloody framework and never make clear in 5 lines that which can be in-lined in one :-D Welcome to the C# club.

              Starting out with C++ by Tony Gaddis ISBN 9780321409393 This is what we used in college and has nothing about .NET and such (at least the older version anyhow. We used the 3rd edition but I know there has been at least one more edition since then.) This is a great book for anyone who has little to no programming experience.

                    What I can say is "Dont even bother with C# Bible[^]" It is a good example of what you don't want. It has a lot to say on OOP and the .NET Framework but very little on Socket Comms and doesn't even mention Marshalling. I've found CodeProject to be of more help than this book.

                      Thank you, this looks like just the type of book I was looking for. Ended up picking up this as well as Windows Forms Programming in C#. Thank you all for the help.
