This book gets top marks from me: "Beginning C# Objects: From Concepts
to Code" by Jacquie Barker and Grant Palmer. It is 3 years old now so
there is no C#2005 edition! So why am I recommending it? - because it
is an excellent book. It is all about C# objects which will be the
difficult bit for you unless you've previously used an OO programming
language. They do go over the basic syntax (keywords, sequence,
selection and iteration) but most of the book dwells on C# objects and
it is a great introduction to OOAD using UML via a small case study.
Most introductory C# books don't do OOAD very well (most just don't
cover it or they treat it in a derisory fashion) - which is why I am
recommending this book to you. http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=293
