When it comes to learning new programming languages, I always turn to O'Reilly, because they have, in my humble opinion, the BEST Learning books ever.
Each O'Reilly Learning book is laid out like a legitimate textbook, and each chapter provides an introduction to a new facet of the language or concept, building upon what it taught the reader in previous chapters. Likewise, each chapter ends with some very good problems, and unlike many textbooks I've read, EVERY answer is in the back (with show more some obvious exceptions).
Learning C# 2005, while not the most recent Learning C# book out there, did help me learn C# knowing little to nothing about the language (though, I did have a background in C, C++, and Java, which helped).
While you probably won't get snaked into writing too many programs in C# 2005, the more recent editions of this book are bound to provide you with the same wonderful level of education that this book provided me. show less

This book is perfect for programmers switching languages. If you've never written a program in any language, it might gloss over too many details for you. If you've had at least a semester course (or equivalent) in a programming language, give it a try. Jesse Liberty throws in just enough humorous asides to keep it from getting altogether dry.
I liked how most of the examples in this book are console applications so that you can enter the examples and quickly view the output rather than show more messing with a GUI.
My best take-away from the book is the macro-view of C# and its structures. Jesse would call this the "semantics" of C#. I know I'll refer back to it when my mind can't remember what a delegate is and why I'd want to use one, or how to overload methods and why I'd want to do so. show less

This is a big, comprehensive book. It's probably one of the better ways to go, if you're looking to fine tune your C++. Though, go elsewhere if you're trying to learn the language from scratch.
Liberty, one of the voices of C++/C# presents, with a laundry list of other C++ pros, a detailed look at the C++ programming language. The book is good for a read-through, and then keeping nearby for a paper reference (though, keep in mind that most programming languages come, these days, with the show more manual included, and for those that don't, and internet connection is all you need).
This isn't a beginner's book, so try something else if you're wishing to dip your feet into C++. But, otherwise, it's a valuable reference with helpful examples, including a CD-ROM with the code snippets included. show less

Great intriduction to ASP.NET, but you will definitely gain from looking up the more challenging topics online as well - to get the most recent updates, elaborations, and explanations from different points of view.
