Book Recommendation to Learn C#

Hi Everyone,

Anyone know of a really good book on learning C# 2005, that is easy to read and understand, without a lot of fluff and page fill

Two that I have been looking at are "Learning Visual C#, 2nd Edition, by Jesse Liberty, and the Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Step by Step, by John Sharp. Both about 500 pages.

I have the MSPress "Visual C# 2005 Build a Program Now", that the Express CD comes with, but need more information about things like delegates, interfaces, abstraction, collections, etc. that are to the point and won't put you to sleep in less than 1 page.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

    Need Help!

    I have Visual C#.NET step-by-step ( 2003, 2005 ) books by John Sharp but somehow I lost both CDs. Can I get the sample codes from the CDs

    Thank you.

    I'm currently working my way through Build a Program Now! by Patrice Pelland with C#. It's pretty good so far. I have no previous programming experience and I'm making pretty good progress.

    yes

    those 2 books are very great , but since you scale books by pages number both of them are over 1000 pages

    if you want a quick tutorial you can take a look to this webpage
