Good free material for learning C#?

[StarOceanHouse]

Hey guys. Does anyone know of any good free online books for learning C#? I looked around online and I got a couple suggestions but it seems that most of them are books you can only buy on amazon. I've also found some that are about 5 years old. like this one.

Since MS developed the language the MSDN is probably an excellent resource for it... quick google search later... voila

I was literally just about to ask where I could get a good cheap paperback guide for beginners. I've chosen C# for GUI development, and it's ability to interface with the Arduino, via the serial port. I've got a bit of an Arduino fetish at the moment.

Check out Robert Miles' C# Yellow Book.

(it's FREE!)

You'll pick up C# in no time. Especially if you already know Java. I went through it in about week. While I'm no pro yet, the book has been quite helpful to say the least. Shlidt's C# 4.0 reference guide is pretty helpful too.

Make sure you follow up C# with learning MVC. That will give you a solid ground on what is out in the wild. Web/Windows forms of course helps too, and then there are Windows services.

Also, it's not so much the language that's hard. It's learning Microsoft's framework, so you want to get something on the .NET framework.

There are various online books on internet and market also to learn c#,i suggest that you learn it from MVC,or if you dont want then ask from the expert or join on lerning academy.

and why do you want to study c++ ?
It is a hellish choice to start with. Better start studying with something more modern, like ruby or python.
