Good C# Authors

I was hopping I could get a couple of good recomendations for C# authors. I took a few C++ programing classes a few years and did a little programing back then, but I never really followed it. I've decied to get back into programing and want to get started with the C# language.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'd strongly recommend Inside C#
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/5861.asp

Another good book is the C# and the .NET Platform

In case you want to jump directly into C# 2.0:

Programming C# 4th Edition by Jesse Liberty

I really recommed Jesse Liberty, he has a Learning C# book as well as the Programming C# book. Or, there is a book targeted to non-programmers called Programming in the Key of C# by Charles Petzold that is pretty cool.
If you are a non-programming right now I would definitly recommend either the Learning C# or "Programming in the Key of C#". Alot of the other C# books out there assume you are coming from another programming language.
