Starting C#

[shankhs]

I have just started learning C#....
But I am not getting any good place or book to learn I know C/C++.
I would also like to learn .NET(I have no idea what it is).
Can you suggest some book or place from where I can start with?

You could try www.3dbuzz.com who have a set of video training things which are fun to follow

I'm starting C# with Beginning C# 2008: From Novice to Professional and Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008: From Novice to Professional from APress. I have to say it's amazing, easy to follow. Strongly recommend.
If you have a bit of knowledge about C# you could follow this link for a bit of basic GDI stuff. I'm always find it fun to work with:

You need a book to start the basic knowledge with a language. After that, CodeProject will do fine. Or just Google what you want to do...

The books mentioned by hieuuk are very good, you could also check out http://www.functionx.com/csharp/index.htm

I too have the books but the vtms (even the free ones) on 3dbuzz are done in an entertaining and good way. Its worth a watch

Yeah, I just checked 3dbuzz. I thought it's just about 3d but when I check out the C# area and it's quite good as well. Thank LizR

LizR: 3d gaming is not really my cup of tea, but the C# vids are nice!

[LizR]

3d gaming isnt my idea of fun either - however, the things it teaches you along the way are, and sure you make a bunch of games along the way but they cover so much and in someways you almost dont notice you're having a good laugh there.

Thanx for all the help. I have "Beginning C# 2008" and I have already started reading it.
