Microsoft Visual C# 2010, Fourth edition provides the beginning
programmer with a guide to developing programs in C#. C# is a
language developed by the Microsoft Corporation as part of the
.NET Framework and Visual Studio platform. Th e .NET Framework
contains a wealth of libraries for developing applications for the
Windows family of operating systems. With C#, you can build small,
reusable components that are well-suited to Web-based programming
applications. Although similar to Java and C++, many features
of C# make it easier to learn and ideal for the beginning programmer.
You can program in C# using a simple text editor and the command
prompt, or you can manipulate program components using Visual
Studio’s sophisticated Integrated Development Environment. Th is
book provides you with the tools to use both techniques.
This textbook assumes that you have little or no programming
experience. Th e writing is nontechnical and emphasizes good programming
practices. Th e examples are business examples; they do
not assume mathematical background beyond high school business
math. Additionally, the examples illustrate one or two major points;
they do not contain so many features that you become lost following
irrelevant and extraneous details. Th is book provides you with a solid
background in good object-oriented programming techniques and
introduces you to object-oriented terminology using clear, familiar
language. |
