I want to learn C# and the .Net Framework as well.
I have no idea on the Microsoft .Net and C# framework but I once programmed on their Microsoft Visual Basic 6 with experience on making COM Components (OCX and DLL).
I have an experience programming on java and have fair knowledge of Object Oriented Technology. But I am currently confused on the number of books currently written for C#.
I want a book that will not explain me the for loop or iterative looping on one chapter but more on the language itself. I’ve heard that C# is a close cousin of Java so I think I just want to know the syntax.
Since I dont know C# and .Net framework< i would like a book that could focus on them.
Currently, as I have viewed from the net.
I have this list of books:
- Head First C#
- Illustrated C#
- MS C# 2008 Step By STep
- Illustrated C#
- C# 3.0 in a Nutshell
- Wrox Beginning C# 2008
- C# in Depth
From the review in amazon, they all look good but I dont know which one of them or that is not in the list that I have would suit me.
I definitely want to learn C# so hopefully someone can help me
Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition is my favorite. It takes you from the CLR basics all the way to the advanced 3.5 topics.
You can read the first few chapters now to get a good grip on the basics and then go on with the more advanced chapters when you feel ready for it.
