Please recommend books for learning C#

I am learning C#. Right now I am working my way thru "Microsoft C# .NET Step
by Step by John Sharp and Jon Jagger." After this I want to get into more
depth. Eventually I want to pass the C# certification test. Please recommend
books for me to read after I get thru the present book, in order of depth
and difficulty. Many thanks!

Amongst the works I've found most useful are:

Programming C# (Jesse Liberty) - good learning C# book.

Programming .NET Components (Juval Lowy) - good book on .NET development
techniques in general.

Effective C# (Bill Wagner) - tips and tricks for C# and .NET development.

C# Cookbook (Stephen Teilhet & Jay Hilyard) - not a tutorial type book but a
good reference for "how-to's" in C#.

The C# Programming Language (Anders Hejlsberg, Scott Wiltamuth & Peter
Golde) - language reference

ECMA 334 - the official language specification, available as a PDF download:

Hello, I am a seasoned Classic ASP programmer who is interested in learning ASP.NET. I bought a book (Que's Special Edition Using ASP.NET) which is complete rubbish, and would like a recommendation of something better. I have a very basic idea of how ASP.NET works having spent a couple of days playing with it, but it's still a large amount of fog with only a little clarity. I would like something that explains what's going on

I bet 50% of the posts I've read lately have had at least one bad thing to say about every website or book dedicated to javascript. There are clearly a few posters (you know who you are) who either are or consider themselves to be the "comp.land.javascript elite". You guys may be the brightest, most seasoned developers out there, and hats off to you. You may not be, how the heck would I know. But... Not to be too critical (which sounds...

Hi as most will know I have been benefiting from your vast experience for about a month or so now, and have decided to try to learn C# programming more academically and structured and study towards a qualification. I would like to know which qualification you think best suited please. I want a qualification that will (a) allow me to learn as much about c# and .net as possible.

I am starting a new job that involves programming in c# and using ASP.net. I have some experience with c# but have little knowledge of ASP, I would like to get a book about each so I can get some reading done before I start. I would describe myself as a intermediate c# programmer, can anyone recommend books on both technologies ?, any help appreciated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
