For one I dont know how to code in C# and am very interested. If anyone know a good tutorial please share it with me as all the others suck.
And 2, I dont knwo how to use Sharp Develop, the compiler my white hat brother had me download but never explained to me. Anyone know any info that could help me?
hey, if u want the biggest c# library ever... go to MS site in msdn.
there u can find all what u want and even more
when i did my certification, i didnt bought any books, i got all there. But if u ar starting dev, the best lang to start is java. then try c# ill be easier
if u want som help ask me
I really wouldn't recomend C# though. It's heavily dependant on the .NET framework, thus making it dependant on windows, and not portable. It's also very slow compared to say, C. It's basically a bad rip off of Java. But yeah I guess if you wana learn it then it's one more language in your mind right?
Hay there is nothing wrong With c#, it works. and yeah .net sucks and it not as good as java......
but its still good. i know c# and it can get really frustrating. it makes simple things SOOOO Hard.

So in general yeah stay away from c#. Learn java. (My oppinion)
C# can be very powerful if you only intend to use windows (.NET), but for other OS's learn a more universal language.

If you do want to learn C# though the best compiler (imo) is Visual Studio Express compiler.

Also a very very good book (if you don't mind paying about $30 or finding a pdf copy) that I would recommend is the Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Programming For the Absolute Beginner by Aneesha Bakharia. This took me easily and smoothly from being completely confused and bewildered by computers to being fairly confident in programming without getting overly bored!

Then get C# in a nutshell once you know the language. Good reference. But still, keep away from C# unless you really feel the need to use it.
c# its the easiest and simplest language to make games, since support XNA SDK form MS. Also its nothin wrong with this lang, can do anythin that vb or other visual langs can do.
i recomend using Visual C# express too cuz its the best compiler and is for free. Also download XNA and the microsoft sql 2005 server!.

Btw the best version is 2005! trust me its the most stable version.
I have to disagree with fluxinator on his opinions on C#. C# is a very clean elegant language (It's one thing Microsoft got right). It's very easy to learn the basics and is also very powerful especially if you are going to be use it with any other Microsoft products.

It's by no means a bad rip off of Java, if anything, Java is trying to play catchup with C# (and .NET) at the moment. C# has some nice functions such as pointers, passing primitives by reference, version control and as of 3.5 they have LINQ which is an object query tool.

Having said that, it depends what you want to do. Java is great for enterprise servers but when it comes to desktop development it's quite a nightmare.

A good place to have a look for source code and tutorials is http://www.codeproject.com and http://www.codeplex.com.
A good book is also C# How to Program or Java How to Program. These books are really easy to understand and have many many examples, it's just a pity they are quite expensive.
Its Nicly Layed Out, Easy to understant, works, easy to use looks neat. understandable. and C# sounds cool

i have been using C# for Bloody ages now. and thats whay i think
I want to learn java now so i can go cross os

i USe Microsoft Visual C# and it works Great. Thats What i Recomend.
Oh sharp develop works good to. but is not as powerfull as MVC#. I learnt C# pretty easy after moving from VB.

the only problem i had was. i had no books to learn from. i just had to teach my self.

First programming language i ever started learning was c#. I heared from many ppl that its the language i should start with since its easy to learn and u can start developing with it really fast, then after knowing it u can switch to java or c++ easly. I learned most stuff about c# from 'Beggining visual c# 2005' by Karli Watson (one of the authors) and also "Pro c# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 platform" by Andrew Troelsen. I compile with c# command line compiler which already comes with .Net framework and its called csc.exe.

i love c# and asp.net

btw im new to forums and its my first post reply Smile
