I know there are a bunch of existing posts on the topic of book
reccomendations, but I wondered, those of you currently taking a
college C# course, what book is the textbook you were required to get?

The Microsoft Versions...and they aren't the best. As far as books go
anything Murach's puts out is awesome.

I honestly do better without books. If you know the theory behind
OOP, then you basically just need to know the syntax of the language.
www.java2s.com has excellent tutorials and code snippets to help out
with this.

I realize this doesnt quite answer your direct question, but it may
help...
 
Tony,

The best book I ever got on C# was CLR via C# by Jeffry Richter. Once
you know what happens under the covers everything else is easy.

You asked for "textbooks?"

The father and son team of textbook publishers Deitel & Deitel have
outstanding texts. Order several via Barnes & Noble for review and buy the
one(s) you think are best for you but be advised, these are textbooks are as
such are costly but well worth the money.

I really agree with you. This book is the best one I also read. However, I
would say that it should not be the first one you read on this topic. The
first I got was "C# and .NET Platform" from Andrew Troelsen. I really found
it great to start with (and also as a reference book).
