C# Resources

A friend of mine has been away from .Net for a while. He wanted a list of resources.

Future Framework

Version 2.0 of the framework is due to be released early next year. I’m not sure the urgency on your project, but it might be something you look at. Maybe even how to migrate to the new framework.

Download it!

Check out this beta version: VS 2005 Express Beta it’s pretty tight. I can’t wait until the full release. I am really excited about the new features.

A couple highly valuable .Net links:

• http://www.asp.net (forum)
• Software Design Patterns
• VB.Net to C# Converter
• http://scottwater.com/Links

Some Books:

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma

My brother gave me this book. He really liked it and said it was the best C# book he ever owned. I haven’t looked at it enough to know either way.

C# for Experienced Programmers by Deitel

Another C# book I picked up at the bookstore and thumbed through it looked good; however, I didn’t have enough $$ to get it.

Design Patterns C# by Steven John Metsker

Open Source C#
