How do you place yourself as a programmer already? If you're fairly familiar with object oriented programming and C-style syntax, then C# should be pretty easy for you to pick up. If you've used Java before, then that's even better. Last time I was in Basement Books (http://basementbooks.com.au/) there was a good range of C# books from Apress. I don't know about the quality, but they were pretty cheap (most less than $5 or $10). They were all aimed for .NET development using Visual Studio, but I imagine the code itself should be about the same on mono (or at least that's the idea of Mono, or so I understand). If you're after a course, again, most will be for Visual Studio environments. I know UTS runs a short course on .NET development - see http://www.it.uts.edu.au/courses/short/programming/dotnet.html I've vaguely heard TAFE has some teachings in .NET, but with a quick search I only found some VB.NET subjects. -Chris. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
