My company has asked me to take Exam 70-573 on SharePoint 2010 Application Development.

So the first step for me is to learn C#. Can you guys recommend any books that will help me learn what I need to know so that I can move into learning SharePoint development. Also, should I spend time learning about the .NET framework itself?

I have a lot of programming experience an开发者_StackOverflowd am good at picking up new languages. I've just never done any .NET development before.

Thanks!
