In C#: A Programmer?s Introduction, the world-renowned Deitel & Associates training organization offers new and experienced programmers an accessible and practical introduction to the fundamentals of Microsoft?s powerful C# programming language. Like all Deitel & Associates books, this one relies on the exceptional DEITEL LIVE-CODE? approach, which teaches every key programming concept in the context of fully-tested programs, complete with syntax highlighting, detailed line-by-line descriptions and program outputs. It features 152 LIVE-CODE? programs containing more than 11,500 lines of proven, color-coded, fully annotated C# program code. Along the way, students will encounter more than 350 practical programming tips for building applications that are portable, reusable, and optimized for performance. The authors begin with an introduction to the basics of the Visual Studio ?.NET integrated development environment, then move on to basic C# features and techniques, including control structures, methods and arrays. They offer a detailed, exceptionally accessible treatment of object-based and object-oriented programming, followed by practical coverage of both exception handling and graphical user interface programming. The book concludes with introductions to the key technologies needed to build next-generation XML Web services—including ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and XML.
