Product Description
Product Description
From the start, this book shows you how to use Visual Studio, C!, and the .NET classes to develop Windows applications the way the best professionals develop them. This unique approach works whether you're new to programming or you have experience with languages like Visual Basic, C++, or Java. As you progress, you will learn the best techniques for developing object-oriented business applications, and you'll learn how to use ADO.NET to develop professional database applications. That is like having three books in one: a beginning book, an object-oriented programming book, and a database programming book. That's why we say: "No other book teaches you so much, so fast, or so thoroughly".

Great Book,
By Software Doctor "SoftDoc" (INDIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murach's C# (Paperback)
I am a medical doctor, a surgeon to be precise. Programming is my passion and favourite passtime. Currently I am a domain consultant in healthcare for a global IT company. This book got me hooked onto C#. I was a VB programmer to start with and was raring to move onto VB.NET. Infact the verbosity of VB.Net had put me off quite a bit. I was only hoping to learn C#, but never knew how. Then I stumbled on this lovely book. From the first page through to the last, I could not put it down and read through it like crazy and finished my first run through in 3 days flat! On the fourth day I was confident of talking in C# (sorry for the pun!). I was amazed at my own progress. It was really when I worked out all the examples in the book and reread the content again (at a much slower pace), I completely mastered the basics of the language and the Visual Studio IDE. I owe whatever I know in C# and .Net to Murach's book. I can bet my word on it for any new comer to .Net raring to go into C#. When a non technical guy like me (a doctor) can learn C# proficiently (just like teaching programming to Chimpanzees - sorry again!) there is little doubt as to how much people with a tech. background can reap from it. All in all a great book worth every penny spent.

Excellent for teachers and students,

This review is from: Murach's C# (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for the beginning C# programmer. The book uses a "paired-page" format where the page on the left gives descriptions of a concept and the page on the right provides examples, syntax, and additional information. Although this does lead to some repetition, overall it provides clearer explanations of concepts that are laid out in front of you all at once. It also makes it easier to go back, find, and review information read previously.The book starts with a tour of C# which leans heavily on Visual Studio. The first three chapters cover using VS.NET and very little C# code is presented. In fact, explanations of how to work in Visual Studio are provided throughout the book. The next two sections, covering 12 chapters, cover the details of programming in C# and writing object oriented code. The coverage of OO is excellent and it will remove much of the mystery associated with OO programming. Database programming using ADO.NET is covered at a good level of detail in five chapters. The final section covers reading and writing files including using the .NET classes to read and write XML files. In many ways this book provides a level of detail not found in other books with plenty of code samples to help clarify the material. The only thing not covered is ASP and web forms. I can highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning C# or to anyone planning to teach a C# programming course. The book is well designed as a textbook for a programming class. It includes objectives, a summary, a list of important terms, and programming exercises at the end of each chapter. A student workbook and an instructor CD are available.

Brilliant,
This review is from: Murach's C# (Paperback)
This is the best programming book I've ever read! I'm relatively new to programming but had tried a couple of other books before finding this one. The pair-paged format is excellent because you can clearly see the examples, without breaking up the text. It also makes it very quick to refer back to the appropriate section as required.The fact that it covers both ADO.NET and object-oriented programming in depth also adds a lot of value. And it assumes you'll be using Visual Studio to create code rather than messing around with how to compile from the command line etc. This book is more expensive than most but it's well worth it.
