Having been a proficient VB6 programmer and only recently started .NET it
may be time to change to C#. Main arguments being assumed popularity and the
fact that BASIC is an abbreviation of "Beginners All Purpose Symbolic
Instruction Code".

Which book would be good for a programmer in my situation?

Will it be an easy switch or are there many language specific topics that
are "must knows"?
 
Bobby,
There are so many "good" books it would be hard to even start. And now, you
have 2005 out, so there will be even more books. One of the best ways to
study C# isn't a book. Get Lutz Roeder's Reflector product
http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/
and decompile some VB.NET assemblies that you are already familiar with.
Good luck,
Peter
 
The Wrox books are very good. (http:www.wrox.com)

I use "Professional C#" Simon Robinson et al. There is also a "Beginning
Visual C#".

They cover both the language and the framework and have downloadable
axamples.

Rgds,

Dave
