Ok, I am taking a class am learning C#.. Though slowly, I was wondering if anyone could give me any links or tutorials that "they" found usefull in learning this language. It is relativly simple so far, but every time I google tutorials I get things that I have allready seen and I was just hoping that someone here might have somthing they found more helpfull in explaining the language, or tutorials.

Thx!

Maybe you could give us an idea of what sort of level you are at programming wise? Are you a complete newbie to programming?

If you are just learning about programming and not sure what you are interested in, you might want to consider a subscription to o'reilly safari bookshelf. It gives you access to up to 10 books at a time off the o'reilly technical books online (over 3000 total) on all sorts of computer topics for about $15/month. You can read them online, print out sections, stuff like that. I used it a bunch when i was in college, i could grab a few books about whatever classes i was taking and for the price of a single book, i could have whatever i needed for the semester.
They have a few good C# books on there.

oh yeah, maybe ask your teacher?

um level wise, I have programmed in C++, html, java script, among a few other lessor known practice languages(liberty basic, pilot, ect.) C# corraspondes with C++ alot for me really and also with what little knowledge I have of C as well. I was just curious if any of you knew of some good places with full explained sample code and example's, ect..

Well there is plenty of information on c# at MSDN

try http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/learning/default.aspx

ah a great link!

Thanks

If you know any c/c++, then you should have a fairly good understanding of how basic c# will work (syntax, classes, inheritance, variable scope, etc). If you have a good understanding of OOP you will be fine, if not, you will get lost easily. I think the biggest issue, outside of the things mentioned above, would be learning the .NET framework and all that it has available.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...,MSDN.10).aspx is an overview of the framework. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms306608.aspx is a detailed outline of all the classes that are in the framework.

Honestly, there isn't anything I've come across that I had to do in c#/vb.net that can't be done with the framework. There are other 3rd party classes/dlls that make things easier (charting, etc), but those are just wrappers around the framework.

Yea that is a problem I have encountered hopo, there is so much offered in .NET that I have troubled knowing how to achieve any given function in the simplest way. Like for instance, in my last program, I was trying to make a button deleted for good. At first all I could figure to do was make the button be visably false and unenabled, but then while I was asking the other students, they helped me look up the destruct function so that I could delete the button straight out of the program never to be seen again.
