Who says geeks can't write!
I'm a seasoned OO programmer (Delphi, c++), and have found Jesse Liberty's Learning C# a very excellent launching point to the latest and best programming language to come along in years.
The book is very well written with excellent examples.
I recommend this book for both novice and expert alike.
For the novice, don't bother learning either c or c++. Jesse Liberty's Learning C# has a thorough and easy to learn introduction to Object Oriented Programming theory and a very excellent comprehensive overview of OO using C#.
For the expert, use this book to accelerate into the new world of C#. Did you learn OO the correct way the first time? With Learning C# you'll have full command of all the features and nuances of C# and you will have mastered the language so that you can help others learn it too. With Learning C#, you will master the foundational aspects of the programming language and will be well prepared for advaced topics in C# and the .NET frameworks.
Ideal Book for C# starters... with little/no OOPs concepts
This book is really good for programmers with no/little knowledge of object oriented programming and starting to learn C#. The author really focusses on explaining the core concepts of C#.NET in the most compact way possible and yet easy to understand.
