newbie learning the language

[krraleigh]

I have been working with PHP for a year or so and it is pretty straight
forward,
now I need to pick up C# to code a project for a charity organization
for school.

I need to write code to develop forms so that the user can:
track meeting
programs
contacts
classes
churches

etc...

I have the DB designed now I need to code the forms so that I can
store the data.

It is pretty involved but If I can find some decent resources to
learn the basics of creating forms in C# and storing and retriving data
I can code the project. I have connected to DB's and done all the basics
so sql shouldn't be a problem.

So my question is can you point me in the right direction for buying
a few books, browsing a few web sites, etc...
Something that can get a newbie started.

Sounds like you may be trying to re-invent the wheel. Is there really no
software on the market that already does what you need?

"Beginning C# 3.0" seems like a very good book for beginners. I've been a
beginner for 20 years so...

Books I found helpful were:

Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step, Sharp Jagger

Programming Microsoft Windows with C#, Petzold

Both from Microsoft Press
