    I agree that MSDN is pretty much like reading an encyclopedia. Lots of accurate, detailed information, but drier than stale beef jerky. Sounds to me like you're looking for something similar to what I'm after. I have been considering taking a C# class at our local community college, but I'd prefer something I can do at home on my free time (and schedule). I've already read and experimented with most of the projects in a book called Head First C#. That's pretty much how I taught myself the basics. I am now using Professional C# 2005 (another book) as my go-to reference for my on-the-job projects here at FlightSafety (Broken Arrow, OK). If you find a web site or another book that's a more advanced version of Head First C#, please let me know! Thanks. :-D

    I think Head Frist C# is a great book for learning C#. I was going to get it but c# 6.0 is coming out and maybe it will do a new book for it. They should make a Pro or advanced version. I got books like 'Pro c# and the .NET framework' and it was interesting but even after finishing it I would not really be confident in writing a solution from scratch. Some of the tutorials here on codeproject are more tuned in to what I need than what Microsoft came up with :)

      I agree. Well, then... I guess we will just have to keep our fingers crossed (or keep looking). :~

          Hi there! Looks like a good learning book. I had a look at the free PDF of Chapter 1 and 10, but I found it to be a little too Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013 centric. We use Windows 7 and VS 2012 here at work. Does the rest of the book read more as a progressive tutorial, or more like a reference book? How much do want for it? ;)

              That's only a sample! Nobody can learn all about C# by reading only chapters 1 and 10. That's why I asked about the rest of the book. :omg:
