Hi

I am trying to learn C#. I figured the best way to do that would be to give myself a project and force myself to write it in C#. So basically I am just looking for some links to get me started.

Firstly, links to just getting started in C#. Secondly, links to database programming in C# (specifically MS Access). Thirdly, GUI development in C#.

I am very handy with Java and C, so websites that favour programmers with knowledge in those areas would propably suit me better.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer.

Cheers

Well, you may as well begin at the source.

M$ C#
C#Friends
C# Help
This one is by the guy that wrote C# Unleashed, probably the best book around about C# programming (from a programmer's perspective).

In case you want to do it on linux, check out Mono.

You mention you are handy in java...you will likely pick up C# very easily...it is the M$ answer to Java.

The links provided include information on both GUI and database programming...although I would be remiss if I did not mention that Access is not always the best idea, unless you are planning a stand alone database set up. C# works very well with all sorts of database software, including SQL Server and MySQL.

Wow, thank you very much. The program I am writing is a simple budget program to help you manage your incomes and expenses. The information is simply kept in an access database. I'm not sure if that is what you mean with "stand alone database setup".

Thx again.
