C# and .Net training

big_mike · 05-07-12, 11:29 AM

Hi I am looking to expand my knowledge so I have decided to get into C# and the .Net Framework. So I am looking for a good training website, video tutorials etc. I checked on asp.net web site, but it seems that the tutorials and videos they have there only give you a basic idea of what asp.net is about.

Thanks
Mike

If you are looking to spend money, the O'Rielly books would be a great place to start.

big_mike · 05-07-12, 11:58 AM

I don't mind spending some cash in the process. I guess it is to be expected.

I will look into O'Rielly books, sounds like a great start. Thank you thideras!

The O'Reilly books are a gift from Heaven. Best books I've ever found.

Completely recommended for every and any thing you want to learn. They're just... so incredible... What a pity there're no Kindle editions...

thideras · 05-08-12, 03:14 PM

There are Kindle editions. I have them on my tablet.

big_mike · 05-10-12, 09:59 AM

Already bought a few of their books. I really like it so far. Thanks a lot for the help guys! Looks like I got some reading to do now

Couldn't find them on O'Reilly's website nor Amazon!

You can buy some directly on Amazon. I've purchased LDAP, C#, and a few others this way.

MSDN is a great resource for any Microsoft related.

or more specifically c#

You can download a free version of C# called Visual Studio Express Edition. I highly recommend downloading it and periodically trying things out in between chapters or whenever. It helps whatever you just learned stick better. It gives it context.

big_mike · 05-15-12, 03:54 PM

Yeah I've found MSDN to be a great help. Every time I don't quite get something that is the first place where I search. Its awesome!

I've also downloaded Visual Studio Express. One of the books I got pointed me in that direction. It seems that it is quite a bit more complex than Dreamweaver (what I use in general). Its most certainly a great tool for developing in .NET
