Hello Friends, In this article I will discuss the best book to learn C# programming and .NET framework. These are some of the books which I have read and used as reference guides for the beautiful programming language. I could have recommended 10 other books, but these are the books which I admire. Additionally I think some of these books should be on reading shelf of each and every .NET programmer.
List of Best C# Books
- Pro C# 5.0 And .NET Framework: I got the first version of this book to read when I started my career as software engineer around 10 years back. And this book did not disappoint me. The book covers all the intricacies of .NET framework and C# programming language. The book covers a wide range of topics to read from like ADO.NET, COM programming and many more to satisfy your learning desire. And the book has evolved beautifully over the years. The latest release also include .NET core programming. The links to buy the books are:
- C# in Nutshell: This is a very good book for any beginner who wants to start the C# development. It covers all the language constructs and OOP concepts with C# examples.
