You don't want to skip console apps! They're very helpful for learning fundamental programming without the complexities of GUI building. In that vein, you might want to take a look at "Programming in the Key of C#", which is an introduction to C# for non-programmers: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735618003/qid=1098376723/sr=1 -1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8014579-3212717?v=glance&s=books Personally, I liked the O'Reilly "Programming C#" book by Jesse Liberty, which focuses on C# syntax but covers ASP.NET and Windows Forms along the way. > Also if anyone could share their thoughts about VB.NET and C# > which to learn? I would recommend that you learn C# instead of VB.NET. C# is the reference language for the .NET platform, and it's a C-style language.
