Hi,
you want to learn all aspects completly? I doubt that this is possible through books.
I think almost all technologies have books that you can read. Just search for the technology. The books I like to buy are the selfpaced training kits. They cover the main parts of the technology and provide a lot of exercises. And at the end I can check
if I understood the content through an exam which gives me certifications.
But the topics and books you can read are big. I would add books that cover non technology specific stuff:
- Object oriented design (e.g. "Object Thinking" from MS Press)
- Project Management stuff (e.g. PMBOK from PMI in case of bigger projects or books about agile development e.g. "Agile Project Management with Scrum" MS Press)
- Books that also tell you, how to develop applications. ("Microsoft .Net: Architecting Applications for the Enterprise" MS Press)
- Maybe books that looks deeper into .Net e.g. "CLR with C# 3rd Edition"
Ohh ... and afterwards, you might want to do all other stuff, too:
- You need to have SQL Knowledge so you can build databases.
- Maybe you need Sharepoint knowledge?
- Generic Windows knowledge - COM, COM+, ... all this is still not dead! You might have to work with native APIs / Components!
- ...
And very important: Reading a book does not really help you. You have to get your hands on it. You just have to write applications. So it is a very time consuming process. And I doubt, that you can learn something completly :)
I stick a lot to oreilly (which also prints the MS Press books) because they offer all these books as eBooks - a great thing if you want to be able to read it on Kindle, computer and mobile ....
With kind regards,
Konrad
