Eager about learning C#

Question

Hi all Just became a member here, I am fairly new to the C# programming Language but I am very interested in learning how to programme in C#. I am the type of person who learn through practical as opposed to a lot of theoretical explanations. Can some one please advise me where to find good starting references and exercises, or recommend some good, easy to understand books. Thanx in advance

I would very much recommend Microsoft C# Programming for the Absolute Beginner , by Andy Harris ($30.00 at Amazon or Borders). It teaches you the basics of C# through simple games, which, fun as they are, really do get the point across. At the end of each chapter you are given some ways to improve or change the game that you worked on in that chapter, which stretches your thinking a bit. I hope this helps : )

Your most useful source is at msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp. MSDN documentation is also built into Visual Studio for offline access as an easy, quick reference. These 2 sources will help you overcome most issues by your own discovery, which is a helluva lot better than someone else telling you how to do it. Your second most useful source is forums like these, IMO. c-sharpcorner.com, csharphelp.com, dotnet247.com, dotnetjunkies.com, thecodeproject.com, all have decent communities that are willing to help you if you've got a problem. thecodeproject.com I'd say has the best community of them all. Books are good once you've had experience. IME, books seem too difficult to grasp if it's discussing a topic in which you've never written code before. I prefer the MSDN & .Net communities route, but that's just me. :)
