Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Written for those with some previous C/C++ or Java experience, A Programmer's Introduction to C# is a fast-moving and smart tutorial to using Microsoft's new programming language. This book is filled with both basic and advanced language details that show you how to use C# effectively.
A quick tour of C#, covering nearly every language detail, starts things off. Because the author assumes that you already know about basic concepts like objects, inheritance and the like, the pace is pretty lively. Concise descriptions of key language features are anchored by short, clear code excerpts that demonstrate each C# principle. Early chapters concentrate on using objects, data types and flow control done the C# way. Where appropriate, background material is provided on the new Microsoft .NET Frameworks environment (where C# runs), but this text is by and large a language-based tutorial. Readers will get a handle on key C# features and even advanced nooks and crannies of the language (such as nested classes and improvements above and beyond C++ and Java) like built-in support for properties, the delegates keyword and support for versioning.
The book is careful to discuss the philosophy and style of C#, especially when it comes to class design. Of course, if you are trained in C++ or Java, you will be right at home. Later sections turn to the nuts and bolts of .NET Frameworks with material on writing classes using methods that will cooperate better with the framework, garbage collection and guidelines for creating reusable classes for other programmers. The book finishes up with a point-by-point comparison of C# and C++, Java and Visual Basic, which can show you what's the same and what's been improved in this new and exciting language from Microsoft.
In all, this title arrives at just the right time for the reader who wants to get ready for C#. Although the language is still under development, reading A Programmer's Introduction to C# will help you stay ahead of the curve with its concise and effective tutorial that's perfect for the busy working developer. --Richard Dragan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
C# is the key language for Microsoft's next generation of Windows services, the .NET platform. This new programming language is fast and modern and was designed to increase programmer productivity. C# enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the new Microsoft .NET platform. The .Net platform enables developers to build C# components to become Web services available across the Internet. Using C# language constructs, these components can be converted into Web services, allowing them to be invoked across the Internet. Gunnerson's book is designed as a comprehensive reference for professional programmers to help get them up to speed on C#. The author is a lead developer on Microsoft's C# development team, and has logged many developer hours writing and testing C# code. As such, he is uniquely poised to teach developers the effective use of this new language. A Microsoft insider, Gunnerson is also able to explain to readers how C# fits into Microsoft's new .NET framework. A final section of the book provides a history of C#, and a language comparison to other widely used programming languages. Gunnerson's book provides a foundation upon which programmers can begin to develop in C#. Among the core topics covered are the COM+ environment, statements and flow of execution, classes, structs, interfaces, expressions, arrays, enums, delegates and events, exception handling, interoperability, and selected advanced topics.

Format:Paperback
This book is excellent if you want to learn object orientated C# and all of the language syntax. There's not much on the actual .net framework, its all about C#. An excellent book to read before getting into .net development.

I bought this book in October and have read it 3 times now. Currently it is without doubt the best book on the market. There are many things in the text which are undisputably non-introductory. It covers topics like IServiceObjectProvider interfaces for formatting and IComparer/IComparable for custom array sorts as well as other advanced features of c# and .NET which I haven't found in print elsewhere. A must for anybody who wants to understand detailed use of c# within the .NET framework.

Informative and complete guide to the programming language, from one of the guys who wrote it! Worth every penny.

Reasonable Introduction, but nothing special
You can find out all the information here by reading the C# language reference document. I would have expected a programmer's introduction to have more discussion on how to apply... Read more

Adequate introductory text, but nothing special
Not enough depth, even accounting for the 'introduction' tag. I would have expected a bit more insight. Read more
