Starting a new job and C# will be a part of it eventually. Reading through this is really confusing -- can anyone recommend me a good book that is relatively up to date? I am good with C and several other languages, so don't need anything that is too newbie-friendly.
- megaman22 9y agoJon Skeet's C# in Depth is pretty solid. The fourth edition isn't done yet - and at the rate of change lately may be out of date by the time it is released, but it goes into some great detail on the guts of the language, and how it has changed over time. https://www.manning.com/books/c-sharp-in-depth-fourth-edition https://www.manning.com/books/c-sharp-in-depth-fourth-editio...
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoI think that book is more useful once you have been using C# for a while, I would recommend it as a starting point.

- sixothree 9y agoC# 7.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference. It assumes you already know how to program.
- mlazos 9y agoI used C# via CLR for a good ramp up on C# when I started my first job. I came from a java background and the transition was seamless.
- Someone 9y agoYMMV, but I found the language spec a good way to learn the language (not the class library). Concepts are introduced in order, and each section is well-readable. I notice an unofficial draft for C# 6 is available as markdown on https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/spec/README.md https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/spec/README...
