It actually depends on what technology in c# you want to learn and what is the current level of your expertism in c#

wow! that is actually very smart but... I am talking about C# in general,the whole concept.
the great point that you have mentioned is the ways of using the language and the level of knowledge and becoming an expert. the way I mentioned my question is C# only. your point of view is different but I accept it with respect.
so thank you very much my friend.

The best book is the one that YOU can understand, not me or anyone else.

What is understandable to me may not be understandable to you. For example, I taught myself TMS9900 Assembly Language straight out of the reference manual. We have no idea if YOU are able to understand do that or not.

I agree.. Something which is best for me is not always best for someone else

Alireza Oliya 6-Sep-13 6:03am

beautiful.. beautiful.. that is something that is fatal in starting a book and learning C#.
thank you very much.

Alireza Oliya 6-Sep-13 5:51am

well that is the obvious and I accept that and I have read almost all of those books and I have pretty much understood all of them I just wanna have a review and strengthen my knowledge so I wanted to know which is accepted among programmers that have proceeded in this path of going forward with books... so.... I get what you are saying and I greatly accept that.
so thank you.

If someone can become good programmer by reading books, then the proof reader guys and book sellers would have been the best programmers..

Real programmers do not read books.. They google, read from MSDN , blogs by great people in this field. I personally read Scott Guthrie and have subscribed to his feed..

Thank you. can I ask that on behalf of what reason did you recommend this book?
I have read the book and I think ( on my opinion! ) that some topics of C# on the book are not given enough attention,the topics that are essential for learning and understanding c#.
