Not a clue about C#

[ygmwy]

So I have to use C#.NET hooked up to an SQL database for a project. But I've never touched C# before. Can anyone who knows programming well explain where C# fits among other languages, and its advantages/disadvantages. Also, if perhaps anyone can suggest some tutorials or learning resources? I have Visual Studio 2010.

The C#/SQL API is super-cool but it somewhere down the road for you.

In my humble opinion, I think c# is an awesome language. It has so much functionality and it's still growing. I knew java before c# and it took me no time at all to pick up on c#. The only tricks parts are how it fits into the .net environment, but honestly plenty of people like Daniel Duffy have everything explained over the internet. My only advice is that if you are going to be coding as part of your job in the future take the time to understand your code the first time as opposed to just copying and checking if it works.

somebody looked at that book and didn't like it

These two books have better reviews overall:

if you need it right the way(maybe just a quick pull), take a look at the ado.net http://csharp-station.com/Tutorial/AdoDotNet/

if you need to something fabulous, take a look at the Entity Framework or NHibernate.

All good resources. Thanks guys. I think good C# coders are really rare. It's good to know that there are good resources and good people out there.

C# is one of most prominant programming language among Java and C++.
