Sharon?
It's a girls name, there's the Sharon Fruit (which is also a Persimmon I think?) and there's the screeching harpie of low-rent 'talent' show fame.

Is absolutely correct! You are up Monday.
I had hoped people would overthink it ...

So I'm volunteering for Florida State Parks and the park I just did 5 months at was petty remote and my hot spot device was used by Fred Flintstone so internet was dicey at best and sloooooowwwww when I did have it. I am now in a less remote park for 4 months and have a new verizon hot spot and the difference is astounding, instead of a page loading while I make diner its now almost instantaneous.
Only drawback is that at the other place I had 10 channels on the TV and here I've got 18 but can't watch them until evening...that I can live with.
It's amazing living without certain technologies and what you can get used too.
Now I can take some of those online classes I've been wanting to take.
Yay!

Welcome back, thank you for your service... and sometimes it's nice to 'unplug' for a while.

Thanks Tim
Yeah it is nice to unplug, kinda hard when you've come to rely on internet but there are ways around it.

Excellent!
1) Get yourself the DVD boxes of any complete Star Trek series you can get your hands on.
2) Start coding something that's a lot of fun and highly experimental.
3) Always have a small video window open where you can see your Star Trek episodes. They are not too distracting because you know them all, but they allow you to get away from work to get a more critical look at what you are doing. You would not believe how many bugs have disappeared after I said something like "Sir, there's a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder."[^]

Hi all,
Coming from Visual C++.
I'll have a little bit of time in a while and I'd love learning C#...
Which book would you recommend me?
Thank you!

I agree Troelsen's book is very good BUT as a former instructor NOTHING beats a textbook with structured lessons.
Deitel and Deitel are arguably the best textbook publishers and "C# A Programmer's Introduction" is what I would recommend to get started from scratch. Expensive but worth it if you are disciplined enough to do every excercise as if you were in school else a waste of money that will end up on the shelf next to Troelsen's "C# and the .NET Platform."

I would second Troelsen. I had a class that used Troelsen's book in 2005 when VS2005 and .Net 2.0 was in vogue. He does a good job of explaining the subject. Be sure to read the first few chapters, then go to where you can start programming windows programs, either forms or WPF. (Forms is easier.) There are other books out there, but they are more for reference than taking you step by step.

If you really want to get to the core of C#, I would recommend this book[^].

C# from 0, when you know C++?
You really know more than you need to know in one sense.
Think of C++, but a lot of the differentiation is removed. C++ made simple.
For example, you don't separate namespaces by '::', but simply with a '.'
No difference between ref for value and pointer ('.' vs. '->') as everything is an object and it's always a pointer so, as a short-cut, it's always '.'.
The IJW nearly seamless slipping between managed and unmanaged is not so seamless (should you ever need to do it).
If you use C++.NET, then your most of the way there. Really, nearly everything's the same.
Now there's more to it than that, but MS was targeting the VB.NET users when the built this so they dumbed it down simplified it. VB.NET lived on, anyway.
Others might, or rather, are likely to disagree with the above.
