Hi all,

My name is Wahyu, I am new to programming and dont know to expect. I am doing home study for c#.net which is starting the next few weeks and wondering if anyone can give a suggestion what books and software that I can use for this study?

Thank you
Wahyu

First you'll need a place to code, I use Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition. For tutorials check these out, there pretty good:
Visual C# .NET for Complete Beginners - a free programming course
C# / CSharp Tutorial
C# Station: C# Tutorial Lesson 01 - Getting Started

As for books, I don't have any programming books on C# but I have a C# game programming book and a C++ book from O'Reilly and there both very good, so check out: O'Reilly Media

Hope this gets you started. :)

What do you mean is C# boo? Is boo a language or something?

Yeah. Books are very good if your a beginner with programming in general. Tutorials doesn't really tend to explain stuff in much depth/detail. People who write these tutorials assume you have some sort of programming background, so books are always best because they explain everything in clear detail and break it down for you.

But still I'm not saying tutorials are bad, they are pretty good for quick examples i suppose.

Youtube is another good place to search up "C# tutorials" also.

good luck =)

I've bought a "Head First C#" book from amazon for few pounds recomemded by someone, I hope this will give me more understanding before hand. Thank you again for all of you.

I recommend O'Reilly's C# In a Nutshell. It's concise and I was able to learn to use parts of the library I was unfamiliar with really quickly using this book.

Visual C# Programming Basics
I can make more.
