    Learn C#

    Are there any good books that you lot can suggest? I've done a fair amount in VBA but want to use something proper.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      I used this
      http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Vi...2129979&sr=8-1

      and a tulip load of google.

      I prefer my learning to be task orientated so last year I set myself a nice big project to do in c# and got started.

        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                Was also interested in whether you saw that approach as working for you in learning C#?

                You now a c# guru?

                  I did C++ for 15 years, and then got a C# contract. I'd recommend that approach.

                    It worked for me as being a personal project I could spend longer researching how to do stuff rather than just blindly copy and pasting from stack overflow and the like.

                    The only bad side is that I've limited what I've had to learn; I wasn't interested in building a front end, so I've still no/very little forms experience
