Hello,
easy question:
- what are the best books to start learning C#?
These questions are always funny to me, it's like asking where to find
the best burger in town...Ask 9 people and you'll get 10 different
answers. And the answer to your question is actually "it depends."
The reason I say that is that it depends on what your current skillset
is. Do you already know a programming language or not? Do you have
any experience with OOP concepts, etc.
Seriously, the best way is probably to "figure it out" for yourself.
Run down to the local bookstore/library and browse through the
selection of books available. Open up a couple books and start
reading them and see if you are grasping the concepts. If you are
completely oblivious to the concepts in the book, it's probably too
advanced for you. On the other hand, you could pick up something like
"C# for dummies" it might be useless TO YOU because the book covers
concepts about which you are already aware...
JMO of course.
P.S. I used MSDN myself, but that's because I had been working with C+
+ and OOP for 10 years before C# came out and the transition was
pretty seamless.
