Learning Microsoft .NET?

NewsDesk is written in C# and makes extensive use of the .NET Framework: Windows Forms, GDI+, XML, serialization, and multi-threading. To flatten the learning curve, I turned to several local and not-so-local resources.

If you are in Southern California, I recommend:

Southern California .NET User Group

Wherever you are, I recommend these .NET books:

C# and the .NET Platform, Andrew Troelsen
Programming Microsoft Windows with C#, Charles Petzold
XML for .NET Development, multiple authors
Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming, Jeffrey Richter
Programming .NET, Jeff Prosise

and these .NET web sites:

GotDotNet
The Code Project
.NET 247
and of course, the Microsoft Developer Network
