I have a client that is learning C#/.NET/OOD/OOP all at the same time. Does anyone have book recommendations on learning not only C# but doing so with a good foundation in design patterns, etc? |

This is a highly subjective question but I learned from Pro C# 2010 And The .NET 4.0 Platform 5th Edition which was very informative and I keep a copy next to my desk to refer to. I am sure this question is going to get a lot of different answers, from different people. By no means is mine the best but that's the nature of subjective questions, and this is what I found to be useful. |

Kamui's recommendation is a great reference book, but i found it less useful as a teaching book. I found that Microsoft's Step by Step books were much better for picking up the language, I used both the ASP.NET 4.0 and C#2010 books. Design patterns aren't something that should learned in tandem with a language, especially a first language. They are language independent ideas that should be learned as such, and after someone has a reasonable knowledge of a language to practice implementing them. It is easy for design patterns to cause more harm than good especially if someone learning them doesn't have a good foundation in programming and how their language works. |
