Thread: Lots of questions

>15. Can you recommend any good tutorials on OOP and C#?

http://www.csharpcorner.com/

http://www.csharphelp.com/links.html

Or a good search engine...

>16. What about books?

Starting Out with C#
Beginning Visual C# 2005
Visual C# How to Program, 2nd ed.
Beginning C# Objects from Concepts to Code
Learning C# 2005

A lot of reference books are good and some are bad- depends on what you like..

>18. Should I learn the basics of C++ and/or Java to get the OOP feel first, or can I just go to C# directly?
Agree, with Prelude above- but to fully answer that I would need to see how "newbie" you are- i.e. learn quickly, etc...

>Starting Out with C#
I still haven't gotten that, the price is stupid (I only paid a tad more for the entire Knuth series, and I seriously doubt your book matches that kind of quality). Can you suggest a place to get it for less than $100 new or $50 used?

Well it does not match the Knuth series...

For a cheap copy look online at Amazon or others. If you still live in Georgia Prelude you may check around...some colleges in Georgia have adopted text and you may find it at a half-priced bookstore...

The AWL marketing rep explained to me about a year ago how they price books...the book is about the same price as other comparable intro programming books in C++, Java, C#-


Just think most colleges/univ bookstores take that price you see and add extra 10 to 15 more to the price for the students..


BTW, Prelude, Congratulations I heard you are going to have a baby...

>the book is about the same price as other comparable intro programming books in C++, Java, C#
Ironic that the most expensive books tend to suck the most, isn't it? By the way, I was quoting amazon. $100 for new, $50+ for used. Eh, I'll probably pick up a bargain basement copy in a few years unless I have a sudden desire to see your work.

Yea, and people wonder why students are always broke.
