I'm holding out for the .NET book by Jeff Prosise. According to Amazon its coming out in May. You can read the daily progress in Jeff's BLOG. I am also waiting for a good book on .NET remoting (esp. the internals). As the language C# goes, I had no problem learning it through the MSDN docs. Aside from the .NET framework, C# is little more than syntax. If you know how to utilize the .NET framework you will understand how to program in C# (minus a few minor details). -- Peter Stephens

Ingo Rammer is writing a book on remoting, titled Advanced .NET Remoting, but like Jeff's it will come out in May as well :-P Ingo's site. Judging from the contents it looks like it'll cover what you need :) James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.

Yes, that's the book I'm interested in (couldn't think of the author at the time.) In the mean time, I am reading the source code for the .NET framework (also known as ILDASM) and hacking away. -- Peter Stephens

I would recommend Programming Windows in C# : Charles Petzold Programming C# - Jesse Liberty and Jeffery Richter has an excellent book out, i think, "Applied .Net Framework Programming" and the one I am holding out for as well is Prosise's book in April. Check out this link Microsoft C# Books I have read "Inside C#" : Archer, it is alright , but somewhat general with no in-depth examples. Good luck ! ============================================= S:)liant - soliant@yahoo.com

>>> I have read "Inside C#" : Archer, it is alright , but somewhat general with no in-depth examples <<< The first edition of Inside is a beginner-level book as it was released just a few months after the PDC and what was needed at the time. However, my second edition has much more internals information for the more intermediate to advanced programmer. I've listed the changes on my site if you care to check them out. If you like Jeffrey's book then you'll also like mine as we both had the same editors and go to the same level of detail in our books. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#

When will the second edition of Inside C# be out, then?
-
It will be in book stores in May. Since Jeff, Jeffrey and I all write for the same publisher, the books are designed to compliment one another and come out in the same time frame. Jeffrey's just came out a bit earlier because it's much smaller than ours. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#
Hmm... Maybe I'll go for "C# and the .NET platform" by Andrew Troelsen now, and then "Inside C# SE" and the book from Prosise in May.

Sounds like a plan especially if you need something now. Andrew's book doesn't show as much internals and MSIL, but it's definitely a good book - probably the best intermediate level book on the shelves right now. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#

That's right. I need something now. I have read alot of reviews on Amazon and sample chapters, so it looks like "C# and the .NET platform" is the book for me now. Thanks for your help. Øyvind
