C# for Web Programming (Prentice Hall PTR Microsoft technologies series) (Paperback)

With C#, Microsoft transforms C++, combining advanced features for Web and distributed development with a VB-like environment for rapid creation of Web services and next-generation Web applications. In C# for Web Programming, experienced authors Chris H. Pappas and William H. Murray introduce C# from the perspective of the working Web developer. Pappas and Murray begin by reviewing C#'s history, goals, and powerful advantages in Web development. They introduce the new Visual Studio.NET environment, quickly demonstrating its use by creating simple command-line programs and Web applications. Next, they walk step-by-step through essential C# features and techniques for Web development: static and dynamic control properties, events, processing Web input and output; numeric applications and conversions; and more. Coverage also includes graphic design techniques for building attractive, usable Web applications with C#. The book concludes with a detailed case study walking through the construction of a complete C# Web application. For C, C++, and Web programmers at all levels of expertise who want to master C# Web development.

Jump into the future of Web application programming with C#!

• Make the most of C#'s key Web development capabilities—step by step
