Hi,
I am a programmer for several years from Delphi, so I say OOP is not a
problem and the 6 months C# experience was from my work frin scratch(because
my boss told me to start developing).
However, I would like to have a good grasp of .NET and C#.
But he already was programimng C# for 1/2 year.. is this initial?
Is that 6 months of "an hour every couple of weeks" or 6 months of
"it's my job" though? We don't know. What we *do* know is that the OP
considers himself to be a newbie.
I don't believe LINQ is a good thing for newbies to learn immediately.
It's very important to get the foundations right first.
nope, a book or two yes, but on the new tech like 3, 3.5 is in my
opinion a bit hard to get a good one... (Jon:s excluded of course)
Should get that... U dont post ISBN so... Ill search for Skeet... lets
see if it is up to ....
I would definitely *not* recommend my own book to a self-proclaimed
newbie. It would be completely inappropriate.
(Mine's also not on .NET 3.5 so much a C# 3 - it doesn't try to be a
book about LINQ, although it covers it enough to give the big picture
without the details. It pays attention to how C# 3 interacts with LINQ
though.)
But right, if no progamming experiance, dont jump, climbe, but on the
other hand why catch faults in 1.0 and the have to realize its been
changed?
Oh there's nothing wrong with starting with a good book about the
fundamentals of .NET starting at 2.0, and then move on to WPF, and
*then* LINQ. It's just that if you try to understand LINQ without
understanding generics or delegates, you'll get nowhere.
Jon If I find that book then Im impressed, I wouldnt have the stamina
to write a book on something (that I would find) obvious, but to read
it when its not is another thing...
on the other hand, I might not find it... but I´m not betting on
that..
Might not find what? My book? Or LINQ in Action? Or something else?
Mine: 1933988363 or 978-1933988368
LINQ in Action: 1933988169 or 978-1933988160
(Oh, and I certainly didn't find everything that I wrote "obvious" -
I've learned an awful lot over the last 10 months!)
