CSharp/C#, Book for Getting Started in VS.Net?

Book for Getting Started in VS.Net?

Author	Message
David Veenema #1 / 6	Book for Getting Started in VS.Net? I am moving to C# from VB6, where I used Jet for most of my projects. I'm having trouble in the C# walkthroughs, mainly because of low-level environmental issues-- mainly, I need to set up IIS and MSDE on my system. Is anyone familiar with any books on getting started with VS.Net, particularly any dealing with environmental issues? I have been through the VS.Net documentation, and I'm not having much luck finding this stuff. Thanks Dave Veeneman

Randy Charles Mori #2 / 6	Book for Getting Started in VS.Net? I read Programming C# by Jesse Liberty. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progcsharp/ Seems like a good book. Only C# one I've read to date. There's a lot of errata, but that's likely due to the nature of leading edge writing. -- Randy Charles Morin http://www.kbcafe.com Feel free to contact me by private email or messenger Quote: > I am moving to C# from VB6, where I used Jet for most of my projects.

fadi #3 / 6	Book for Getting Started in VS.Net? One outstanding book I have seen so far is "A Programmer's Introduction to C# Second Edition". If you want to buy two books, then get Programming C# from O'Riley as well. fadi Quote: > I am moving to C# from VB6, where I used Jet for most of my projects.

Jesse Libert #4 / 6	Book for Getting Started in VS.Net? Hi. You are righ that there were some typos in the book, but I've documented every reported error in my errata sheet on my web site (where you can also get the updated source code). We found about 30 minor errors and typos, which is not good but is probably typical for a book of this size. What is unusual is the effort I put into ensuring that every one of them is documented and the fix is provided. While you're downloading the source and errata, you can also sign up for a private support discussion I provide. The book was not rushed to print, we spent 5 months editing it carefully; things slip through but we're working to fix every known problem. The second edition will correct all the problems and will ensure that the code (which was already tested for Beta 2) is tested for the release version. Thanks. -j -- Jesse Liberty Liberty Associates, Inc. .NET Training & Development http://www.LibertyAssociates.com Quote: >>I read Programming C# by Jesse Liberty.http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progcsharp/Seems like a good book.

Randy Charles Mor #5 / 6	Book for Getting Started in VS.Net? On the http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progcsharp/ website, there were only two confirmed errata. Your website is much better, http://www.LibertyAssociates.com. You should kick some O'Reilly ass and get them to update their site.
