Haha the bing link was only because I saw it on one of our own threads and hadnt seen a 'let me bing that for you' before xD

Can a mod add those links to the useful resources heading :)

Despite this thread being dead for 3 months, i am going to add on to it.

Another great resource is [Lynda.com](http://www.lynda.com/C-training-tutorials/1022-0.html).

Also the HeadFirst Series and Murach's C# 2010 book are pretty good resources.

Other ways of learning are using forums, expirementing, taking classes, and my personal favorite... Google!

It's fine to add to it, it's stickied so that it is seen regardless of how inactive it is :)

Recently I was looking for books about C#. Since this thread doesn't have alot of book suggestions I'll add the results of my search to it in the hope that it will be useful to others as well.
