On 10, Okt. 2010 | inRIA lecture | vonJohannes Hoppe
Some students asked me for some good books that I would recommend.
The module description (Modulbeschreibung) of the lecture lists some skills, which are all required and obligate:
- General knowledge in programming
- General knowledge in computer networks
- HTML / CSS / JavaScript
For these skills I would recommend the followings books / resources.
German:
- HTML / CSS / JavaScript: SELFHTML – free!
- Programming (C#): Visual C# 2010 – free!
- Networks: Computernetzwerke by Andrew S. Tanenbaum
English:
- JavaScript: Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford
- Programming (C#): C# Cookbook by Jay Hilyard, Stephen Teilhet
- Programming (C#): C# 4.0 in a Nutshell by Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari

If you are really into the RIA topic and if you want to go beyond the required scope, then take a look at the following resources.
Addinitonal:
- Object-Oriented JavaScript by Stoyan Stefanov

- Pro Silverlight 4 in C# by Matthew MacDonald
