I'm halfway through the class, the Microsoft Official Course number 2609A, Introduction to C# Programming with Microsoft .NET. Since all of my previous experience was procedural programming, it is a good introduction to OOP for me. I think the first 4 chapters were a bit slow, but that was me personally. Today we get in the the guts of OOP (inheritance, polymorhism, etc), so it should be more interesting. Tomorrow we get to the ADO.NET stuff, I'll let you know how that goes. So far, this class gets a recommendation. If you are already working OOP, C# has some differences that the introduction does a good job covering (object variables vs. properties, etc).
One warning on the class, it was written when .NET was new. Because of that there is a bit of rah rah in the materials and a little more marketing speak than in most classes I have taken. It is also tailored to .NET 1.1 and VS 2003. For .NET 2.0 and VS 2005 there is another class. C# is a bit more complex than C++ on the programming side, but it drops the preprocessor directives that drove me batty. It adds name spaces, but that seems to help help simplify the code and makes it easier to reuse code. Once I get into actually using the language, I'll be able to make a better assesment. > I'll be taking an MS class (not sure which one) next week.
