Hi, I just started in the c# language and I'm looking for some stuff to get me going. Like...tutorials on c#, books, websites, etc.

Also, I would like the tutorials, books, etc. to be written in PLAIN EASY english, not some college mumbo jumbo.(since me being in only 8th grade.)

If anyone has any suggestions other languages I would also like to know.

Thanks.

Hmmm. Wrox offers up quite a few books on C# and you can view all of them here:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section...&field=keyword

You will, of course, want to disregard the results for C++. What is your focus though? Web development or Desktop development? Also, it has been my experience that as long as you are sticking to books with the word "Beginning" in the title, the author more or less assumes that the reader knows nothing about the book BUT read the preface find out who the book is geared towards. A great beginners book will be worthless to you if it doesn't explain the most fundamental basics (for example types, int, string, etc) and the implications for using the various types.

I would suggest any of Wrox's books (my opinion is a bit skewed though) if, for nothing else, the community here is wonderful and can answer just about any question you have on a general level as well as with any question you might have about X book.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hi all,

I just get promoted to be a developer at my company (yipee...) but the problem is, i dont know the C# syntax... I'm looking at Wrox book and i found a lot of C# book which make me confuse which one should i use....

overview of my company...
we're doing website for newspaper

- we use microsoft SQL server as database
- we use C# to develop the website (template, index.aspx and all of it)our system which use C# will extract all the data and generate our site. The data will update daily...
- we send data to client thru XML

so the book i need is the book that can help me to create website that could manipulate data, put in as dynamic website and generate xml as well... anybody can help me choose which book is best for me? your help is veeeryyy much much much appreciate....

Since you are primarily a web developer and are not familiar with C#, your best bet is probably going to be a book like this: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...470042583.html

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi dparsons,

wow! very fast respond... thank you very much!...

got a few more question.... (sorry ask a lot)

i already buy "Fast Track C#", so beside the one you suggested, i also interested of getting another pure C# book which can provide good reference on what's inside the C# library. For example what ".GetHashCode" do... what ".GetEnumerator" do, how to call the build in function in C# and so on..

then which one is better for me....
- C# 2005 programmer's reference
or
-professional C# 2005
or
-professional C# 2nd edition
or
-professional C# 3rd edition

all are look like same to me which make me confuse..

thanks a lot...

I would probably suggest the Reference guide in that situation. Also do not forget about the MSDN as all the documentation for all the classes, properties, fields, etc can be found there. For example, here is the documentation for GetHashCode()
