Recomendations for Books/Resources for learning C#

[Guest]

Since this is the only C# forum I see, I will hope that this is the right
place.

I am fairly new to object oriented programing, nearly all my experiance is
with VBScripting, BAT files etc.

I would love to get some feedback on any sources that provide any of the
following:

C#/asp.net "challenges" Ideally progressive so that you can keep building on
what you know. Something that isn't just "whats wrong with this 3 line
method?" or"Write this extremely simple code section that is nearly identical
to the examples used in the chapter."

C#/asp.net or applicable refernce that is written for people who are not
programmers, but not on the level of "Idiots Guide to C#" So many of the
example I see are very abstract without any explination as to what they are
or why you would use them. I know the abstract ones are great if you already
KNOW the absract concept but trying to figure out the code when you barely
understand the concept is difficult.

Thank you for your time.

Hello Bill,

There are many classic authors like Schildt, Troelsen, Richter which professionally
explain .NET/C#
For technology book there are no top writers, each choose what's he/she likes.
Especially in bounds of publisher. For example I like books from MS-Press
and APress

I recommend to go to the shop, take a book and look which one is best for
u, which author state his thougths in the most clear way for u
