Gettin started with C#

Though I do not have industry experience, I am not at the beginning
level and have been exposed to amndy lanaguges. Currently, I am
reviewing Java with intention to get to J2EE. I am currently taking
intermedite VB.Net.

I have registered for an online C# class at a local college with
intention to get started on C#. The class will start in 10 days. The
instructor is using Deitel's C# How To Program First Edition
(http://tinyurl.com/nxo84) . I am reluctant to buy that book and I'd
like to get your opinion. Is that book good for me to get started on
C#? Would it cause any damage since it is old?

Btw, I am using VS.Net 2005 - I am getting a full version with academic
alliance price.

Alos, I would like recommendation for tutorial links (excellent ones)
and books that's worht buying.

Hello wannabeSeriousProgrammer,

Doesn't here about this book even :)
The classic books are from Troelsen and Richter

See this Troelsen http://www.amazon.com/2005-NET-2-0-P...e=UTF8&s=books

BTW, reading MSDN C# Reference and C# Specification is very useful

Professional C# 2nd Edition by Simon Robinson.

That was first book I read that significantly made a difference to my C#
abilities.

Hi,
I have Deitel's book "C# for Programmers", almost the same as the C#
How to Program, except more in it and costs less.
I have found that D&D's books are pretty decent. In fact I have taught
some progamming classes for a local university using D&D's "C++ How to
Program".
