C# Put in to Practical Practice

For 'Real World' applications - most of the value of the system arises from the mid-tier (with the business layer). This is where the business logic which provides the requirement solutions resides. My suggestion would be to obtain as much experience with this tier - a recommended book is Lhotka's Business Objects (this is NOT the 'Business Objects Enterprise/Crystal Reports' from SAP which sucks). Lhotka's approach is very unique and is well documented  - more details here: http://www.lhotka.net/

Post your experiences here..
Good Luck!
