Re: Best Way to Learn C#

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It is somewhat difficult to write a C# "Windows Form" application from
scratch: you should probably use an "IDE" (integrated development
environment). You can download the beta version of C# Express from
Microsoft. Then you should get a book that leads you through generating a
program via the IDE. I recommend "Programming C#", by Jesse Liberty. After
a discussion of the language, he shows you step by step how to build a
Windows Form Application in the IDE. The IDE generates must of the
non-intuitive code for you, leaving your only task to fill in the event
handlers, from the stubs it generates.

After that, and after you have learned the basics of the language, you just
need to study the C# library, and the GUI toolset that comes with the IDE.
There is a lot there and you will pick it up as you need it, and as
curiosity leads you.

If you have studied other programming languages as well as GUI development,
C# should not present much difficulty. It is just that it is so big it is
sometimes hard to know where to begin.
