Getting back into C#

Furton · 2 Aug 2006 at 21:29

After graduating from Uni doing a computer science course I went into a testing job to tie me over for a while, however a while has turned out to be over a year and I've completley forgot how to program (3 years well spent

). I was never really that good at it but I'm determined to get back into and could do with picking up the basics again before getting back into the more complex stuff.

Anyone got recommondations for a book that goes through the principles of OOP as well as teaching C#?

That's got some terrible reviews, looking at this book, anyone else got it?

Anyone got the Sams Teach yourself in 21 days book? Reviews look good and content wise seems to be what I'm after.

I was part of UMIST that merged with you!

Thanks for the recommondations, I already have a Visual C# book that covers a lot of stuff in detail but could do with getting to know the basics again, mostly on OO theory.

Think I'll get the Sams book and the pocket reference.

It's been reviewed by plonkers then---Programming C# is by far the best C# book around.

Bah, dam you for putting doubts in my mind!
