Recommend me a C# with .NET programming book.

BrokenArrows

Ive been away from the programming world for a while and would like to get back into it.
Ive chosen C# as a place to start as ive previously done C/C++.

Anyone have any experience with books? Or free online tutorials?

Books are soo pre-2006.

You should take a look at some of the videos at: http://windowsclient.net/learn/ and http://www.asp.net/get-started

I've found Jesse Liberty's C# books pretty good in the past, this is a recent edition (though I think the up-to-the-minute C# 4.0 edition is just out);
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Programming-C-3-0-Jesse-Liberty/dp/0596527438

Other than that, grab a copy of Visual Studio Express and work away - if you've got a background in C++, C# won't present any particular problem. The MS sites Ronan_ linked to will provide good video tutorials on specific topics.

What are you on about?

No serious programmer relies on the web alone. A good book is an excellent resource.

Web is a great resource but having a go to book is vital.

Programming C# Components by Juval Lowy is very good. I don't know if there is a new edition though for NET 3.5 or 4.

Ive just started on C# myself and I have ordered Head First C#...

I got the Java version a few years ago and it was brilliant.. same with the HTML/CSS version...
