Gettin started with C#

[wannabeSeriousProgrammer]

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-...=pd_bbs_1/103-8678093-7167048?ie=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".
