C# - urgent crash course needed

Berserker · 23 May 2008 at 22:14

I need to get a head start on learning to write software in C# for a project starting next week. I've done C for 20 years and C++ for 10, so I doubt I'll have much bother with the syntax - it's the groundrules - what, why and how - that I need to pick up.

So, does anyone know of a good tutorial that will get me 'up to speed' in C# programming?

Thanks for reading.

Sorry, I think you have the wrong end of the stick. This isn't for the web and we have no standards I know of (other than general coding standards that apply regardless of language). As I said - I just need the basics of writing 'good' (as in reliable, working) code, not specific coding standards. Consider that I've not seen a single line of C# code in my life - because I haven't. I can pick up all the more detailed stuff later.

A quick perusal of the Microsoft documents shows you're right. It's somewhere stuck in the middle between C++ and Java.

Thanks.

MSDN is very much my friend already - gets almost daily use. Just didn't realise there was much on the basics (I use it as a function/method reference more than anything).
