Could anybody give me some suggestions to some c# books for super newbies. Because i've never worked with a higher level programming language and don't know how to work with compilers etc. I need a book for SUPER NEWBIES. Any suggestions appreciated!

yeah no kidding. Try looking at some of the Oreilly series of books. They're always good.

I used C# for Dummies and I really liked it. It gets kinda confusing toward then end when it gets into heavy-OOP but I think any book would. The beginning is reall great for new programmers because it assumes you know nothing.

It even tells you what the book is for .

If I'm not wrong, that's just the language specifications. I can't remember the title of the book, but my friend was reading this C# book written by a certain John Smiley, it was for beginners and very interesting.

Of course, O'Reilly is always worth a look when looking for tutorial books.

believe it or not, "programming in the key of c#" by microsoft et al, is a decent book which i got on amazon for less than a dollar by searching for c# and then clicking on the used stuff. hell, any book that explains primitive data types is DEFINATELY a newbie book. check it out.

The John Smiley books are good for beginners, but he has a unique style: he usually incorporates some kind of story into the text. He'll have a dialog between students in a class "as they're learning how to program". Can be annoying. Otherwise, he explains things well. Here's his website: http://www.johnsmiley.com/
