You do what you think is right rather than asking anyone else what you should do.

On learning the language, there are plenty of free online resources for learning C#, there is really no need to buy a book for it.

On learning to program in general, there was a thread about it in the forums somewhere where Stephen001 linked to some good resources.

Ye but for me its easier to learn from a book since I can be on the pc like 4-5 hours a day and thats mostly doing program for byond.I want to spend my time learning from a book after my pc time is over.And probably learn it in school too <_<

So any whats the best book out of those 3?

I can't say which of the 3 is best, but I can tell you to stay away from anything labeled "for dummies".

Here whats the difference betweek Visual and Net. Because thats confusing me.Which one is used for Unity or is it both?
#10 Sep 11 2011, 8:46 am
Unity is based on .Net framework, and it can synch with visual studio. That's from a quick glance at the link to unity you provided.
#11 Sep 11 2011, 9:13 am
Well I am assuming synch means sync.Anyways whats the big difference?
#12 Sep 11 2011, 4:50 pm
It means that they aren't the same thing. Visual studio is an IDE, .Net Framework is a software framework.

Also, technically speaking, sync is a shortening of synchronize, so sync is no more a real word than synch.
