A good read!

Hi

Can anybody recommend a good C# book, for someone who has many years of development experience, including in Java, VB and C? I am not looking for a book to teach me programming fundamentals!

Cheers

I can recommend 'Inside C#' by Tom Archer (

http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/5027.asp)

This book isn't just about the C# language, but also about the .NET architecture, which is very useful to know when programming in C#.

I already knew Java when I started reading this book, and I learnt C# very easily from it.

regards,
Blaxo

Hey jby1,

I have been programming in Java for about 3 years now, and I started c# programming a few weeks ago. I found this book very useful: .Net for Java developers by Addison Wesly.
It explains c# by comparing Java and c# examples.
I found it as an e-book on the internet, but i guess it's for sale too.

You're probably going to laugh, but I own several C# references and the best one that I have is one of the first ones published (it was published at the same time that Beta 1 was released).

Professional C#
Wrox Press, 2001
Authors: Robinson, Cornes, Glynn, Harvey, McQueen, Moemeka, Nagel, Skinner, Watson

The book is very helpful in that the authors make references like, "for those of you familiar with Java,..." or "for those of you familiar with C++...". The book assumes that you already have programming experience.
