Is this a good book to learn c#?
-
Hi everyone, Many off you know I ask a lot of questions, and although I am a complete beginner with c#, it is simply for the fact that I am impatient and want to get on with it, however, I now realise that I need to sit down with a good book. Anyway, I have just purchased "Head First C#" 2nd edition. I selected this book as some of the real-world projects appealed to me. I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this book, and if I have made a good choice for a first book, and if I am likely to learn much in the way of windows development with c#? Thank you, p.s. LucPatton, if you are reading this, I am sure you will be happy (and relieved) that I finally got a book :)

Really? If it is being used in a school, must be OK then.

Hi Stephen, fyi, I found Jesse Liberty's books on C# from O'Reilly exceptionally good. And, currently I am studying Jon Skeet's 'C# in Depth," (Manning Press) which I regard as kind of the "Ph.D." level book on the subject (and one I suspect will take me years to really 'grok'). For Windows Forms, in addition to Liberty's book, I found Matthew MacDonald's books from APress excellent. best, Bill
