Luc The Perverse
Short version:
Trying to learn C# - 5 years C++, 2 years Java experience Help!
Long version:
I find "Learning C# 2005" by Jesse Liberty to be 'slow', to say the least.
I am skimming through the book, started 2 days ago will probably finish
today.
I've been commissioned to build a C# application by a friend, involving
parsing XML, right click shell integration, uploading to remote servers,
possibly encryption. He has Visual Studio 2003 - so I guess that is what I
am using too
In Java it helped to be referenced to documentation on classes I needed to
familiarize myself with.
(Forgive me, I'm not sure the semantics of what I am trying to ask.) What
would be great would be a list of most commonly used .NET components?
(classes/functions?) in descending order - then I could start at the
beginning and just work on familiarizing myself in my own way. (If I don't
see how or why something is used then I can search for an example on
google.)
Any advice? I feel like I could progress quickly if I just had the right
learning tools. If the best tool for me is a book, I am not opposed to
that - but I'm positive it is not the book that I have.
