Framework Books
Applied Microsoft .NET Framework programming - Describes the common, non language,
elements of .NET such as arrays, garbage collection, delegates etc. It does not
cover Windows Forms, so in order to be able to write a program you would also
need a book about the language you are using and also a book about Windows forms.
This approach would give you a very comprehensive view about, not just how to
write a program in a particular way, but also why it is done that way.
