C# C# Book for Beginner Programmer

[Thadis]

My friend is currently going to be working on a project for our school where he have to start teaching himself C#. I know both of us have been looking for a book though we have not been able to find much information why one book is better than another or found a general agreement what a decent book is. I was wondering does anyone here know of a good that would be good for someone who is just learning his first programming language and is going to have to teach himself C#?

There are tons of books--including beginner's guides--on Amazon. Here is a link to check out, sorted by highest reviews. I can't recommend one specifically, but I'd start here.

If this link doesn't work properly, just type C# Programming in the search bar and click Go. Sort by average customer review...

I'm teaching myself from these two books:

Pro C# and the .NET 4.0 Framework
C# In Depth

The first book is easy to follow from knowing nothing at all. The second book assumes knowledge and, as the title suggests, goes deep - I think it would be quite difficult if it was the only book you used.

It's a fun language to learn, the .NET library has everything! :P
