Learning C# ASAP to get started with ASP.NET? [closed]

Question

I have experience writing web apps in Django; scripting in Python; playing with PHP and I understand Object Oriented Programming. I need to get started ASAP with C# in order to start learning and using ASP.NET for a clients project.

Is there a way to get a working knowledge of C# without passing by the over-a-thousand-pages-books? How should I proceed to gain that knowledge?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you have the prior knowledge you say you do with OOP, Python, and PHP...C# should be incredibly easy for you to pick up.

It's incredibly similar to Java in syntax, so if you know any of that you're basically good already.

I quickly read through these when I got started with C# and I was able to pick it up very quickly.

Answer 2

It's as good of a lanuage to get started with OO programming as any. Incidentally, I don't find ASP.NET to be overly OO, compared to alot of things, so for a speedy approach I'd take a reverse engineer successively more complicated examples, and good place to find them is in the tutorials on http://www.asp.net
