			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 10 years of programming, I&#8217;ve needed to switch languages frequently. Sometimes as many as five times a year. It&#8217;s good to have a breadth of knowledge, but there&#8217;s nothing wrong with depth. For the last year I have been programming almost exclusively in C# and in order to beat the New Year&#8217;s rush I am making an early resolution to be a bad-ass in this language.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got two resources in mind to get started on this track, not coincidentally both are published by Microsoft. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Specific-Improve-Software-Development/dp/0321245660/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228273027&amp;sr=8-2">Effective C#</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/More-Effective-Specific-Software-Development/dp/0321485890/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b">More Effective C#</a> (catchy titles, no?).</p>
<p>I chose these two because they are easily broken up into digestible chunks and are not related to any particular solution domain that I am working on. </p>
