Ok, this might not be a completely appropriate question for the group,
but I figure some of you might know this based on past experiences.

Since C# 2.0 is about to be released in November, I'm a little hesitant
to buy anymore C# books right now, because I'm sure there will be plenty
of new editions released when VS2005 comes out.

One book I'm interested in is Murach's C#, but again I'm not sure if I
should wait. So my question is, based on what you guys have seen in the
past, how likely is it that new versions of these books will be released
come November/December? Is it still worth getting them now, since not
*too* much has changed anyway?

Thanks.

Like which ones? I have Programming C# by Jesse Liberty, but I didn't
see any others that dealt with it (in a general, intro sort of way. I'm
not talking about those books that deal with just the new stuff in 2.0).
 
Take a look to "A Programmer's Introduction to C# 2.0, Third Edition" by
Eric Gunnerson and Nick Wienholt.

That also seems geared toward professionals.

O'Reilly's "Programming C#" has had a 2.0 (4th ed) version out for several
months now. If you've done basic programming in any C style langauge and
know basic OOP you won't have any trouble with the book. If you want
something more basic I think they've got a 4th ed of thier true intro book
IIRC titled "an intro to programming in c#"
