I personally thought Pro C# and the .NET 4 Platform was pretty good, but most people would turn you to C# In-Depth simply because it's by Jon Skeet, which is sound reasoning in and of itself.

u/fartin_rulz · 5 pointsr/csharp

I thought Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Framework was really good.

u/t-rek · 4 pointsr/learnprogramming

If you are proficient with another programming language (or programming in general) i really recommend Andrew Troelsen's Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform.
It's really big but I think it is worth every penny.

Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform, Fifth Edition

e: I would also like to say that MSDN is a great place to look: MSDN.

i learned C# in 2008 by starting with 2008 version of this book.

Do you know which version of .NET you'll be using? I have this book http://www.amazon.com/2010-NET-Platform-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1430225491/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311012255&sr=8-1 "Pro C# And The .NET Platform" and love it. Although I had some C# knowledge going into it. It might not be that great if your company uses .NET 2.0 though because it shows the newer ways to handle things (main changes that I'm aware of are multithreading and parallel processing along with LINQ)

"Pro C# 2010 And The .NET 4.0 Platform" by Troelsen.
£27.23 on amazon.

Very thorough, in-depth, aimed at experienced programmers.
Covers C# and .NET, including CLI, CLR, and an overview of .NET libraries.

I agree somewhat but for a true noob, a good starter reference/book is a good thing. K&R is short too. Look at this for comparison.

If you don't have a base for programming it's hard sometimes to know what options are even available to you.

I'm an intermediate programmer and it's likely the best I'll ever be. I work hard as hell keeping up with technology. People keep moving my damn cheese!

My first C book was Teach Yourself C in 21 days. Some ancient version from like 1993-4. It was a good starting point. The key is to just start.

u/danimoth2 · 2 pointsr/learnprogramming

Thanks for the quick and concise reply. Yup honestly I'm not that impressed with my teachers and I always come on to r/learnprogramming to really learn programming. I've really learned a ton here. As much as I would prefer to just study at home instead of going to school in my country a degree is a must if you want to land a good programming job here or abroad.

If it's not too much do you have any recommended books? I'm looking at this one.

u/emcoffey3 · 1 pointr/learnprogramming

I really liked Introducing Visual C# 2010 and C# 4.0 in a Nutshell. If you have less than a week to prepare, I'd probably go with the latter. I'm reading Pro C# and the .NET 4 Platform now, but I don't think I'd recommend it. It covers some more advanced concepts that the others don't, but it's a bit long-winded and there aren't enough code examples.

u/borgidiom · 1 pointr/learnprogramming

If you are happy to fork out the cash then this is a good read

http://www.amazon.com/2010-NET-Platform-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1430225491

Has a great range of topics from C# to WPF to ASP.NET.

u/indrora · 1 pointr/csharp

Three things:

  • Get an IDE that doesn't give you help. SharpDevelop is good for this.

  • Get the book "Pro C# and the .NET framework" from Troelsen: http://www.amazon.com/2010-NET-Platform-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1430225491

  • Learn from production code and someone else's failures.

    I learned most of what I know today by writing VB apps and having the IDE convert them to C# (I stared with SharpDevelop)

u/lasthope106 · 1 pointr/learnprogramming

For a complete beginner I would recommend Murach's C# 2010. It's not as well known as some other books, but I really like their format. The book uses this paired-page concept where the code, diagrams, pictures, etc. are in the right page and the explanation is on the left. Not to mention that they show you how to use the IDE, and give you a brief intro into GUI and DB programming.

For a more complete reference check Pro C# 2010.
