Beginner Question

[Daniel]

Looking for a good resource for beginners? books, online anything that will
get me started..

what im trying to focus on is building a small program in c# to look thru a
few files in a folder that contain certain words / messages ( i know that is
probably more than a beginner can do right off the bat ) but i have other
programmers available that can help, but rather try myself before i get them
involved..

example of what i mean


folder:
c:\test\logs

files:
log060508.txt
log060408.txt
log060308.txt

within the files there could potentially be certain messages when the system
logs errors.. it doesnt have to be real time.. but something that can scan
inside the files to find certain words

and eventually get the other programmers involved once i can get it to work,
to help code to email if the words are found.. ( unless thats simple
enough )

thanks in advance..
