Synopsis
What is this book about? With "Beginning Visual C#", you will learn how to use Visual C# from first principles. Visual C# is an object oriented programming language designed specifically for programming Microsoft's new platform, the .NET Framework. You'll quickly and easily learn how to write Visual C# code and create your own applications for both Windows and the Web. What does this book cover? With clear explanations and hands on examples, you will learn about the following topics: the C# language from the ground up; designing and writing object oriented programs .NET programming with C#; working with Windows forms and controls; creating graphics and printing; accessing databases and files; and, writing web application and web services in Visual C#. This book will be an indispensable guide as you learn to write C# programs, gradually explaining the key concepts of Visual C# and .NET as your skills develop, with exercises at the end of chapters to test yourself. Starting with a thorough tutorial of the Visual C# language and object oriented programming, you will progress to learn how to apply your understanding to programming the .NET Framework. "Beginning Visual C#" is ideal for beginners with little background in programming, and for relatively inexperienced programmers who want to move from a language that doesn't support object oriented programming techniques. The book moves at a fast enough pace that if you have programmed in another language, then you will still find the book valuable. What do you need to use this book? Note that "Beginning Visual C#" requires you to have access to either Visual Studio .NET or Visual C# .NET Standard Edition.
