I’m a good java programmer and want to learn C# (seems fun, delegates, linq, lambda expressions, access to native dlls and unmanged code etc).
Every tutorial, book seems to teach C# with Visual Studio. But at the learning state I want to write everything manually without intelliSense or project/solution etc and compile it at command prompt, the way anyone learns java.
Is there a good resource or book that teaches C# and .net this way?
I admire your passion to work with low level command line utilities, but it’s not the practical approach to .NET development. You can still pick up C# by working with the high level IDE, which is why “every” book out there is going to assume such. The bottom line is, if you ever want to become a .NET dev, you’ll have to know tools like Visual Studio and more than likely ReSharper in order to be of any significant value. I’m not being a condescending pessimist here. Just letting you know that what you desire is going to have to be pursued at a more personal/individual level as opposed to being conveniently learned in a book.
