I have done some development in VC++ 6. No component based apps, only self
contained exe's.
I would like to get into .Net and C++ or C#, and start developing
distributed applications. Can anyone suggest a couple of good books?
Thanks,
Keith
Hi Keith,
Personally, I always like to start people off with general concepts of the
..NET Framework and CLR first. Some understanding of core concepts like
assemblies, shared assemblies, types, value vs. reference types and
especially garbage collection is necessary before getting into C#. So I
start people off with "Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" by Jeff
Richter from Microsoft Press. A great C# book is Troelson's book or "Inside
C# 2nd edition" from Microsoft Press. In terms of distributed apps, Ingo
Rammer's "Advanced .NET Remoting" is the bible on .NET Remoting,
"Distributed .NET Programming in C#" by Tom Barnaby, APress is good too.
