Ask HN: Good resources for learning C#
Hi guys!
As I will be getting involved in programming in C#, I wanted to ask if some of you know good resources to get started and also for further, deeper understanding.
Until now, I have mainly been programming in C++ (about two years), so I am familiar with OO programming, I think. I also know some Common Lisp, but have never finished any bigger project using CL though.
My aim is to publish a fairly decent Windows Phone 7 app by around the end of the year.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.

- capnfabs 14y agoCan't go past "Programming for Windows Phone" by Charles Petzold, and you can get it as a free download. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2010/10/28/free-ebook-programming-windows-phone-7-by-charles-petzold.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2010/10/28/f... Might be a little hard if you've never worked in .NET before, but the author has recommendations on what to do in that scenario. I found it to be incredibly helpful.
- replax 14y agoAh, great! Thank you very much. Looks exactly like what I needed. He does include a link to a book on .NET basics for C/C++ programmers, too!
- kellros 14y agoGet a subscription at pluralsight training or nettuts or similar - it will help you immensely.

More Windows Phone specific; I think there are many books suitable for learning C#. Just pick a couple that speak to you - older editions can be purchased from Amazon for less than five dollars and will cover critical language and .NET features in sufficient depth to get you started.
