Hi guys,

I work using vb .net and feel like I can solve most problems with the skills I have. The problem is that I dont feel like I am learning very much any more and would like to become a more proficient programmer. As mentioned, I can solve most any problem but now I want to do it in the most efficient and secure manner.

What .net books would people recommend? I dont mind if its C# or VB to be honest as I have wanted to take a look at C# as it seems to be the industry standard for .net.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CLR-Via-App...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252493686&sr=8-2 is very good for C# 2.0

If you want more C# 3.0 features then this is probably better:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Depth-What-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252493706&sr=8-1

Both of them are designed for experienced .NET programmers and go into detail about how and why things in the framework work the way they do.

Code Complete 2 is also a good book if you want tips on general programming style etc. it's not .NET specific, but if you've never read it then put it on your reading list.
