Hello, i've decided to learn C# so i would like someone to recommend me a good beginner book in C# to buy. I have no prior experience in programming.
I have seen many books in amazon but i dont know which one to pick up......
also i have found this video tutorial series:


So what do you recommend me most?? follow the video series? or buy a good book? i fear that the video tutorial series will not be so complete as a good book... Thanks in advance.smile.png
Failure is not an option...

I am a beginner myself. I recommend you watching the series. Though I think reading a book can be almost the same, just a slower process (not necessarily a bad thing). I am currently going through the tutorial too. I want to start with c# instead of c++ (which i'm learning at school - a lot of people say it's awful for a beginner and I started to understand that somehow). And if you still want to read a book you can try the yellow book by Rob Miles or find yourself some free sources ;).
P.S. The tutorial of thenewboston seemed a little weird in explaining things. Maybe is just me(I understood stuff because i already knew it - c++). Good luck!

That book is geared towards professional programmers looking for a quick guide to getting started with C#. It's very good for a reference or those with previous experience, but not good at all for the absolute beginner.
