Good book for c#?

joe123

Im in 3rd year of college with programming in c#. To be honest I didnt think id pass the exam in it at the end of 2nd year but I did with a small bit of room to spare...anyways back in 3rd im struggling with it and have forgotten alot of the 2nd year stuff. Any good books out there to help? Is there a c# for dummies?

Yes there is, although you'd be suprises how much you actually know when you get back into it. I'd recommend the C# Cookbook from O'Reilly. Doesn't teach you anything it just has loads of *recipes* for common tasks.

Another O'Reilly one - Programming C# by Jesse Liberty. Found it a useful intro/reference.

I find the ASP.NET Unleashed book a very good day-to-day reference, and there's a C# entry in that series too. Haven't used it myself, but appears popular;

Edit; sorry, the newer edition of that C# Unleashed one would be this;

This is the book to buy, 1300 page monster - but alot of that is covering the .NET framework, this is an excellent text, check out the reviews on Amazon.

I would also get something like this for Object modelling, analysis, approach etc.
