im totally new to C# and trying to find an ebook or website that will help me through the process of learning this language.

i been looking for as many free resources to help me get on my feet but all i found was frustration. All is fine until i get to the chapters where it starts to teach how to get user input (string and non-string) and all i get is errors. That's when I completely give up trying to learn the language, this is my 3rd time trying to learn.

is there any site or free eBook that i can download and follow through with learning this language :crying:

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Pro, and i know the basics of C++ (pointers, arrays, functions, etc)

still not helping :confused: (i don't have any problem with this in learning any other languages :mad:)

maybe im asking the wrong question, where do I start in C# to get the basics down?

to me it seems like its such a vast language and I have no clue where to start, console programming where i can see my code in the command prompt, or seeing it on a windows form, or going straight to graphics where it loads (Im not even sure how it loads or where).

My focus is games programming.

Most of these tutorial links just force me into the language and I have no clue what it's doing or why it's doing what it's doing. I mean, not knowing how to get the user's input seems like a simple task but I cant do it!

how did you learn how to program in C#?

I have a book called Learning XNA 3.0 by O'Reilly and it uses C# to make computer Zune and Xbox360 games and it seem pretty good for the beginner it's only like $20(from amazon) here's the links. Book XNA Program.

did you use this book to learn? seems interesting from the table of contents >_>'

i actually already had an account in the XNA forums hah

[CommittedC0der]

Well I never actually read it because I bought a C++ book at the same time and started reading it but yesterday I was browsing through the XNA book and it seem like a good book it's not like some books with 10 chapters before you do any thing it's first chapter tells how to put a sprite on the screen and all that good stuff. I want to read it but I have to learn Java first.:(

I made tutorial myself, it will help you learn the basics of Visual C# very fast.

Please tell me what you think of it. :)
