Recommend a book on C# / .NET

Question

C++ / C#

Hello! Interested in .NET, C# and WPF in particular. I have programming experience in Pascal, Delphi, C++, Python, PHP, JavaScript.

Advise good literature on the subject (.NET and C #. WPF is still in the future, although it will not be superfluous even now) - preferably not too professional, but not for completely “green” people who decided to learn programming from scratch.

Answer 1

If you already have considerable programming experience, you can take it and start programming, since the syntax is similar, and at the same time read the epic book CLR via C # from Richter in order to achieve complete enlightenment in all specifics.
The only thing I would like to highlight is LINQ and lambda expressions. Very practical things to learn. There is a LINQ in action book on this subject.

Answer 2

Maybe "C# 4.0 in a Nutshell - The Definitive Reference (4th Edition)"?

Answer 3

A very similar question was asked here , and there the habrousers recommended these books (all links lead to ozone):
1. “ The C # 2008 programming language and the .NET 3.5 platform” (E. Troelsen) C# 2010 programming and .NET 4 platform” (E. Troelsen); 2. After reading Troelsen recommend "CLR via C#" (Jeffrey Richter); 3. "C# 4.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference" (Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari); 4. "Accelerated C# 2010" (Trey Nash); 5. "C#" (Carly Watson);
+ I quote: “And then you have to navigate by specific technologies. If you are interested in ASP.NET, then this is Dino Esposito, if WPF - Charles Petzold. Etc."
From myself I can add that I read Troelsen and Richter, I liked it quite a lot. The rest of the books that I added to this list also have very flattering reviews on the Internet.

Answer 4

Very accessible, but not down to elementary: Troelsen "The C# 2010 Programming Language and the .NET 4 Platform"

Answer 5

Here I read "C# 3.0 Design Patterns" by Judith Bishop.
I liked the book, although it is no longer about language constructs, but about options for using its innovations + built-in tools for implementing patterns.

Answer 6

I started like this:
Trey Nash. C# 2010. Crash Course for Professionals (Sufficient Understanding of the Language)
by Joseph Rattz. LINQ - Integrated Query Language in C# 2008 (Understanding LINQ)
- Matthew McDonald. WPF in C# 2010 (understanding WPF)
Then you can read Richter (deep understanding).
The fact that it is written "for professionals" does not mean it is difficult to understand.

Answer 7

I also advise everyone G. Schildt "C # 4.0" and the book "Uncle Bob" "Principles, patterns and methodologies of flexible development in C#"

Answer 8

Definitely Herbert Schildt "C# complete guide", here is a link to ozone
