REPOST: C# Book

[Scott M.]

Surprisingly, I didn't get any responses on this the first time, here goes
again:

I am looking for a good C# book that covers the language and syntax of C#
(2003). I do not need coverage of the .NET Framework and/or VS.NET
(allthough, I realize there will be some of that in most books). I am
already familiar with the Framework and VS.NET from several years of VB.NET
development.

When I switched from VB.Net to C# I read C# Unleashed By Joseph Mayo. I like
it because it was focused on someone coming from another language. It does
go into the .Net framework but the chapter organization enables you to just
skip chapters that are not something you have an interest in.

if you have done VB.NET.. and switched to C#.. I did the same over 2 years
ago.. and I just used the O-Riley book.. was really good enough to get hands
on C#...

Either of these two books will give you what you want:

"The C# Programming Language" Hejlsberg, Wiltamuth and Golde includes .NET 2.0
updates. Nice hardcover book. Even has a built-in book mark.

"C# Language Specification" The original one.

Both are Microsoft Press books and have no VS coverage, only C# specifications.

Good luck with your project,

I liked Murach's C#, it explained things in a very thorough, yet
understandable manner. This is only my perception, though. :)

The book does begin with a section on the .NET framework and visual
studio, but it has good code samples throughout. Another one I found
helpful is Petzold's Programming in the key of C#.

Link to Murach's:

I hope I was at least a little helpful. :)

Programming C# by Jesse Liberty

Microsoft Visural C# .NET 2003 in 24 hours by James Foxall

are two I found useful

Try a book by Deitel & Deitel. They are great and they have a good C# one.
