C# Book Recommendation
-
Isn't one of the first "best practices" suggestions to be explicit? I know I put all my access mods out. Helps when you do VB.NET and C# at the same time.
Yes it is. :sigh:

Having been a hobbyist coder since 1900 and frozen to death, I've always used VB and VB.net; I know, I know, we don't need to go there! Anyway, as I'm now starting to get on in years, I think it's time I learnt a new programming language and C# comes to mind. My question is, can someone recommend a good beginners book on C#? I know about Rob Miles' The C# Programming Yellow Book but this is only available on Kindle. I need an actual book. I don't really want one of those 'Learn C# in 24 Hours' nonsense; I'd like something that eases you into the language and then gets into the more technical stuff. Any recommendations; any book(s) that anyone has found really useful?

Perhaps C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework[^] or Professional C# 6 and .NET Core 1.0[^]. Jon Skeet's C# in depth is excellent but perhaps not relevant if you're starting with C#
I'm using the second recommended book to learn .Net Core and C#, and it looks a good book but I'm not that far into it yet. Well written with everything clearly described. I'm having problems with some of the illustrations though. They don't match the actual screens in the installed code - ASP.NET 2015 Community Edition - which is a bit off-putting..
