Hi all,

 

I have gone thru a few programming books and none so far have been very good.

I have learned Visual Basic 6.0, but I really want to continue learning and the books out there aren't very good. The same goes with C#, I want to learn it but I don't know what the best, or more recommended books are.

Can anyone tell me what are the most recommended books for these two languages? I will try learning by myself, since I have had to do so before because the instructors offered no help....

 

Thanks all....

I don't have any experience yet with C#, but for VB6 books, have a look at some of the recommendations at our sister site here.

I have C# How to program from Dietel and Dietel, it is very good. I really enjoy the Dietel books even though they are expensive they cover a great deal of things and are normally quite in depth.

 

This said there are quite a few issues in this book with spelling mistakes and a couple of program errors but nothing that will keep you from moving forward. Hopefully they will fix most of the issues in the second edition.

Well, I'm on the road to learning Visual C# .NET so I need to head down to my local bookshop and check out some good Visual C# titles from WROX.

Wrox rocks. Check out Bookpool for the (generally) lowest prices and often times free shipping if you don't mind waiting a few extra days for media mail. (Not an issue if work is buying your books :))
