Well, I AM a beginner in C#, but not in development in general. Hence I
do not want to dismiss books for beginners in C# but I want to avoid
books for beginners in development starting in C#.
Thats why I also stated my question that way, that I am looking for a
good book about C# for people coming from Java. From such a book, I
would expect all the basics of C# (what you mentioned) without all the
basics of development (integers, objects, instances, .....).

Just for the good order, it was introduced with Java 1.5.

I know there are fundamental differences between Java and C#, but
overall I wouldnt consider them as THAT different. Certain classes have
to be handled differently, certain features are available in one but
missing in the other but the overall path is more than similar.

The last time I touched native code for Win32, it was Delphi.

Yeah, it actually sounds a bit as if you were in need of it ;) ....
seriously, its a while since I adopted a new technology/language. The
last was PHP, and as the language itself is rather easy to learn and
there are that many resources online I didnt really feel the need for a
book.
