Please recommend books for learning C#

[Johann Schuler]

I am learning C#. Right now I am working my way thru "Microsoft C# .NET Step
by Step by John Sharp and Jon Jagger." After this I want to get into more
depth. Eventually I want to pass the C# certification test. Please recommend
books for me to read after I get thru the present book, in order of depth
and difficulty. Many thanks!

Amongst the works I've found most useful are:

Programming C# (Jesse Liberty) - good learning C# book.

Programming .NET Components (Juval Lowy) - good book on .NET development
techniques in general.

Effective C# (Bill Wagner) - tips and tricks for C# and .NET development.

C# Cookbook (Stephen Teilhet & Jay Hilyard) - not a tutorial type book but a
good reference for "how-to's" in C#.

The C# Programming Language (Anders Hejlsberg, Scott Wiltamuth & Peter
Golde) - language reference

ECMA 334 - the official language specification, available as a PDF download:
