Read a good C# book lately?

[Train]

I need to learn C# on the fly, i know VB and some C++ (Borland and MS) I also know some Java and a few other languages, I was wondering if anyone here could recomend one? theres like a hundred different ones to choose from on Amazon.

I'd like to know also. And if I were to learn a programming language over the summer, would you recommend C++ or C#? I know java, c and lisp. Thanks.

If you already know Java, you're going to find C# incredibly easy to learn - they're virtually the same syntax wise.

As for decent books, don't know. I started reading one from Wrox Press that was decent.

Jesse Liberty's Programming C# is the best book out there for C#, imo. It does discuss .NET in general, but doesn't go in depth. If you want to know more about .NET itself, look no further than Jeffrey Richter's Applied Microsoft .NET Programming.

Go forth...

I have to agree. Jesse Liberty writes great books. I bought Programming C# 2nd Edition a month or so ago, its a great book.

I second that. I bought the book, and I'm 1/2 through it, but for now, I use c++.net. If you know c++, learning "managed c++" will be easier than c# because C# has some minor differences.
