Hi all. I was hoping some of you could recommend a book or two that
would help me get started with the basics of C#. I have a slight
knowledge of programming, but basically I want to start out like I know
nothing, so I don't skip anything.
I considered Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step 2003 by Sharp/Jagger,
but then I read a few reviews and it doesn't sound so good. I have XP
Home, and I plan to buy only Visual C#, not Visual Studio, and I heard a
lot, if not all, the examples requires Studio.
I found this book at Thomson Learning (www.course.com):Microsoft Visual
C# .NET Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design by Doyle,
and it seems like a good introduction (but then again, so did the one
above). It also has the option of purchasing C# Standard with it.
Later I might read Beginning C# Game Programming by Penton, since game
development interests me very much.
But basically I'd like to start out with a general book that explains
all the basics of C# and that will allow me to start developing
applications (not necessarily web-based, or games, just basic apps).
Thanks!
