Thanks so much for taking for the time to put this together Kevin! :o) I really appreciate it.


>Thanks Kevin. I'd really appreciate your input. Enjoy dinner! :o)

>Thanks - had ribs and Guinness and then a new HP desktop for desert (for real! it's a screamer)

>First, yes, the C# Cookbook is very good (as are most O'Reilly titles)

>Anything by Jesse Liberty is likely to be very good.

>Somewhere along the line, I think someone recommended the Christian Nagel C# 3.0 book from Wrox. This is something I would have said before joining Apress - be careful of Wrox titles, especially those with multiple authors (Christian's book has 5 listed authors).

>I think Craig mentioned Juval Lowy, and I agree, his books are good (his material is not intro material, so yes, you'll need to establish a foundation first).

>Truth be told, with all the blogs that exist, it's becoming easier and easier to find blogs and websites that cover a good % of the same material that exists in books.

>First, a very good book on LINQ:

>Second, Andrew Troelsen is working on a 3.5 update for his book:

>Finally, here's one that I know nothing about, but plan to keep my eye on:
