    Hi, I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to learn C#, and he's looking for a good book to start with. He has experience with VB 6, but isn't very familiar with oop. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Ken

      The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie, since a VB6 coder needs purification before approaching C# language. (just kidding) :-D

      This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

        (and I meant to put first) After you read The C Programming Language Then read Programming Visual C# 2005: The Language by Donis Marshall Then read CLR Via C# by Jeffrey Richter I have thousands of dollars invested in manuals and these two were by far the best in my library. Scott P

                          Those books are good recommendations. Anything by Richter is a good bet. Also get Effective C# by Bill Wagner, Addison-Wesley, $40. 50 advanced topics with concise mundane treatment. No stupid jokes or silly pictures.
