Windows App Programming

Depends on exactly what you want to program, and how extensive your experience is, but regardless of those, there is a pretty big learning curve to go through. Not in the language - something like C# is pretty simple and can be picked up in a couple of days (or less if you have good experience in a different language) - it's the framework it sits in that takes huge amounts of time to learn: Controls, Collections, Properties, Events. There are a lot of them, and you really do need to know a fair amount of (and about!) them before you can do anything "significant" - a "Hello World" type Winforms app is the work of minutes, but a database backed video player is going to take a while... :laugh:

But, from your description of your experience, I'd suggest you start with C#, and get any of the Wrox or Addison-Wesley books. They start simple, and work their way through the complicated stuff, so as long as you do all the exercises you should pick it up pretty well.
