The 10 Best C# Books to Help You Learn or Improve Your Skills📚

ByteHide on May 13, 2022

How do you learn C#? There are tons of books out there to teach you the ins and outs of C#, but how do you know which ones are right for you? Wheth...

I am currently going through Code Like a Pro in C# by Jort Rodenburg. It is insane how much I learned from that book

Personally, what grade would you give it from 1 to 10? I'm looking at it and it seems to be a really good book!

I give it a 9. My only issues with the book is that it feels like some code is skipped on purpose (or at least mentioned in non code blocks of the book and in a previous paragraph) and because the entire project is done in VS Code, a lot of the imports from other libraries is skipped and while you can alt-period for a suggestion, some isn't really as obvious for some other libraries.

However, it really isn't that big of a deal as you have access to the solution code from the website anyway

I really liked "Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#". I felt it more like a design book with code samples in C#...a bit outdated in terms of C# features but still valuable for the design concepts.

And "Concurrency in C# Cookbook" is a must-read for anyone writing async code in C#...I have in my reading list the "Functional Programming in C#"
