Sadly, I’m not programming at the moment. I miss it. But I’m learning a lot of other things.

How to learn C#
It made me
Smarter
 "Practice, MSDN, and Google works to learn anything"
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. Lessons & tips: Getting certified (I'm an MCP in .Net development) forced me to learn a lot about the language even though I didn't have a project to work on in that technology. Then I transferred to a project working in ASP.net that used C#. Resources: MSDN, Google

It made me
Satisfied
How I did it: Books mainly. The best for me was "C# 3.0 in a Nutshell". I didn't want a book which was trying to teach programming, just one that gave me the facts, and this one did. Read how I did it…

Smarter
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…

Already got C++ down.

I mainly want to learn C# to use XNA for it’s ease of using 2d graphics in what I would need much more work in C++ in. Microsoft has some great online tutorials and I’m already writing my 2nd program, a tile based rpg. In just 2 days I’m reading from text files and rendering a tile map to a screen :D . It’s very similar to Cplusplus, I guess, but at the same time, so different. I’m one of those hardcore optimizing C/Cplusplus users, and I’m still trying to learn the best way to do everything in C# (and I miss my pointers!)
From Java it should be easy

Books!

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#.
