Learning C#

[Maurice Moss]

I've decided to leave VB and start to learn C#. I've made some basic things in C# that I'm a familiar with from VB and other programming languages and how certain things work.

What are some things I should read/know about as I start to learn C#?

Any tuts, guides, or advice is appreciated.

How far did you get in VB.NET?

Anyhow, I'm a C# guy myself. After dabbling in VB.NET quite a bit, I've decided that C# is the way I wanted to go. Reasons for this were the C-like syntax, and how similar it was to other languages helps as well, since you could migrate easier.

When I was new, I checked out a few C# books from my public library. If I remember correctly, the titles on these were "C# 4.0 Tips and Tricks", and "C# for dummies".

Also, one of the easiest ways to learn, in my opinion, is just to read and study source-code! Find a program that is simple, that you can understand what it does, and then open the source code and study what it does, eventually you'll know enough to start piecing programs together from examples, and then creating your own programs!

Wishing you the best of luck learning the language!

After plenty of experience with VB.net, i am also going to be picking up C# as well, a lot of what you learn/learned in VB.net is about the same in C#, just different syntax. Here is a site that I found pretty useful when comparing the difference in syntax.

Because people like you post 'junk' like that. A lot of people when they are starting out don't necessarily know what to search for. Google is a great resource, but you have to know what you're looking for.

I am currently learning vb.net but in a years time i am sure that i well code in more than one language, i well probably learn others like C# and maybe ruby.

Just start with some basic functions maybe, reversing a string etc, you have the advantage of knowing vb.net, the syntax is different but you'll find your way pretty easy

I myself was a VB6.0 guy (yea I know its outdated but it was godly) and pretty much refused to touch .NET, after seeing events which I described as "the most obnoxious thing ever" (I eventually learned it). I also had some recent experience with C++ and what not, so it was pretty easy for me to pick up C# and start going. I started out creating console applications and learning all the control strucs, keywords and methods ect. After that, basic form applications imo pretty much consisted of...VB but with a C like sytax lol. It's pretty easy to transition into C# from VB, you'll like it ;)
