Which book on C# to choose?

Question

Books

Good afternoon!
Now I am a PHP (Yii2) developer, I want to learn C# and the .NET platform as a whole as a hobby. I have an idea about the CLR, .NET, C# syntax, so I want to find a book that has less water and more practice.
Specifically interested in delegates, events, WPF, working with JSON (especially) multi-threaded programming, working with DLLs, and so on.
I want a book to read and follow it consistently.
Also, I would like the emphasis to be exactly in the direction of MVVM patterns and WPF technology, since in 2 months it will be necessary to implement a Windows application that interacts with the REST-API service. What do you advise?

Answer 1

Partly metanit.com , everything is short and to the point.

Answer 2

You want too much, really. Since you need to make an application, you need to start writing code, not reading books.
Books for learning C#/.NET
If it's purely C#, I recommend Skeet's book.

Answer 3

Never read the documentation as a tutorial, as recommended above. Documentation is nothing more than a reference.
You only need to read educational books, otherwise the wheat from the chaff cannot be separated even in a year.

Answer 4

To learn the basics: Richter - CLR via C#
For WPF: book
About MVVM - here it is better to use libraries: Caliburn.Micro or Prism

Answer 5

In my opinion, Andrew Troelsen - The C# Programming Language and the .NET Platform will be a very good place to start .

Answer 6

In 2 months, it is unlikely that you will have time to learn everything from the list. Some topics are normally covered in Schildt, others in Troelsen.

Answer 7

A lot of information and on the case - professorweb.ru

Answer 8

Right now, books (especially translations) can't keep up with changes in any development stack. Therefore, I would advise just reading the documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg405484(...
