Hi all,
I'd like to ask for book recommendations , please.
I'm a VB guy looking to move to C#. I have quite a fair amount of
experience of VB.NET (and prior to that, VB4 through VB6), so I'm not
new to programming or the .NET framework itself. I am also quite
versed in general "object oriented" programming, especially since
moving to VB.NET from VB6, although I've done object-oriented
programming in VB6, too (well, as much as you can with VB6 :)
I've recently read the pocket reference book, "C# Language Pocket
Reference" from O'Reilly, which is fantastic as a small "primer", and
I also have (also small!) "C# & VB.NET Conversion Pocket Reference"
also from O'Reilly.
I'm interested in hearing recommendations for other, perhaps somewhat
"meatier" books for a VB guy moving to C#. I'd like to avoid
"reference"-style books that detail the .NET components and their
properties/methods, instead focusing on books that really delve into
the C# language itself, and perhaps the "mindset" for C# developers.
Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies in advance if this isn't the forum for posting such
requests.
Regards,
Neil.

One of the best technical books I've ever used is "C# and the .NET Platform,
Second Edition" by Andrew Troelsen. Does assume some C++ experience, but
also includes some examples of calling C# code from VB.NET. I'd highly
recommend checking it out. There may be a newer revision available, but I
have no experience with it.

Hi! Neil,
How are you? The best book for C# is any Wrox book.

Neil,
Just start, for not doing that there are to few differences between C# and
VB.Net.
If you want some first help than have a look at these pages.

Code C# and VB http://www.harding.edu/USER/fmccown/...omparison.html
Language compare http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...quivalents.asp
Something about C# written by a C# adept http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/faq/#vb.or.csharp
I hope this gives some ideas

"Essential C#" by Mark Michaelis is very good in terms of focusing on
the language rather than all the libraries.

I have the Transact-SQL Programming book from O'Reilly. It was
published in 1999. It states that "SELECT ... INTO" statements end up
locking the entire database of the target table. Since the tempdb is
also involved (in many cases), this creates major deadlocks for the
entire database and all users. It suggests using the "INSERT ...
SELECT" form instead.
Considering that the book is somehow dated, is this recommendation
still valid,...
