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. 4 1760
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.
Ecma http://www.jaggersoft.com/csharp_standard/toc.htm
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.
