I’ve dabbled long enough – now I need to get up to speed. The lamguage looks worth learning properly.

More "How I Did It" stories
crystalz Brick walls are there to let us prove how badly we want things.
How I did it: I took a formal training class to get the basics of the development IDE. This was back when it first came out (1.0). Then I passed one of the Microsoft certification exams. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to college to study Computer Science. There I have taken Computer Science I and I am currently taking Computer Science II. I know the basics of the language and continue to build upon those basics. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have written two projects recently using VS 2008, C# & .NET 3.5. Although I'm preety Microsoft-fobic, I must painfully admit that both language and .NET framework are better designed than Java equivalents. So, Bill Gates rulz, unfortunately, and I'm afraid that in the future we'll see even more projects depending on Microsoft OSes. Read how I did it…

I bought several books like the Learn C in 21 days. Need to stick to reading and coding a little each day.
It’s not bad but it is hard to follow some times even though they try to make it easier with diagrams and pictures and interesting exercises.
to prepare for the project (which is now in the “needs to be coded but isn’t” stage) I worked through the book Dot Net Book Zero, a guide to C# for basic to intermediate C/C++ programmers. I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the language now.

A link to this goal said “Learn C+”, but the goal is “Learn C#”. Also, the main “How I did it” story talks about C+. Maybe someone changed a “+” to a ”#” not knowing that C+ and C# are different languages.

What the C or C++ Programmer Needs to Know About C# and the .NET Framework
by Charles Petzold
A 267-page 1.2 megabyte PDF. I have no idea what PDF product he used but it’s friggin’ amazing to be able to do that.
I also ordered Petzold’s book Programming Microsoft Windows With C#.

I’ve been at this for about a week, and I’ve made a lot of progress. The C I knew (taught myself) was a bad habit, and now I’m taking the time to correct my assumptions and habits, make more notes in programs, and keep more to ASCII. Hopefully I have this down soon enough to write useful programs and move on to C++, among other languages I’d like to learn.
Also, it’s safe to say this is going to make college waaay more bearable, so I’m all for it. Hopefully I don’t lose steam around the more difficult stuff.

I just committed myself to a CS project stating that it will be written in Visual C#, so there’s no turning back now. I’ll have the next 2 months or so to work on the project.
I want to learn C++ as it seems the most effective way to code the applications I want to make. Plus, if I learn it, I can mod Diablo II more. :D

“What book can I use to learn c# if I know c/c++ ? Some sites could be very useful... Thanks a lot ... !”
