Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

C# is Microsoft's new--and preferred--language for programming in the .NET environment. Beginning C# assumes no previous programming knowledge. It also assumes you'll be using Visual Studio.NET.

You start off writing simple console programs to learn the basics of types, flow control, functions, debugging, error handling, object oriented programming, classes, events and other basics of the language. The excitement starts in chapter 13 with Windows form controls and moves on to deployment issues using the new Windows installer. You get data access with ADO and a review of ADO.NET classes and objects. Everything about using C# is covered in exhaustive depth before you go on to look at Web programs, ASP.NET and some complete sample applications.

Wrox--and Karli Wilson--have been involved in enough programming books to get the formula down pat. Beginning C# does a good job of introducing new topics, putting them in context, demonstrating their usage and explaining how they work. There are plenty of simple, lucid examples of code including alternative ways to achieve the same ends with explanations on why you might use one method over another.

As a book Beginning C# is nearly as exciting as the average in-flight magazine, but for working programmers or beginners who need a clean, clear introduction to putting C# to use in the real world, it's hard to beat. Read it before buying Professional C# from the same stable of authors. --Steve Patient



Book Description

C# is Microsoft's brand new programming language for its new platform, the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework consists of a runtime environment for managing the execution of our code, and a whole host of class libraries for performing almost any programming task you can think of. Although .NET code can be written in many languages, C# is the only language designed specifically for the .NET Framework, and as such is set to become the language of choice for writing .NET applications for years to come.

This book will be an indispensable guide as you learn to write C# programs, gradually explaining the key concepts of C# and .NET as your skills develop. After a thorough explanation of the basics of the C# language, we take an in-depth look at object-oriented programming in C#, before moving on to see how we write Windows applications in C#. We also show how you can create dynamic web pages and web services in C#. Finally, two case studies provide full examples of C# applications in action and show how it all ties together.

This book covers:

The C# language
.NET Programming with C#
Object-oriented programming
Writing Windows applications
Accessing databases
Writing web pages and web services in C#

5.0 out of 5 stars Begin C# Programming with a BANG!, 18 Jun 2002
This book is clearly presented, and well written. It's style is very accessible, even to very beginners, as opposed to programmers new to C#. I have already read three other beginning c~ style books, and while some were pretty good (Inside C# for example), none of them covered such a wide berth of information for this subject.
This book not only introduces you to C# command-line, like all the other books I have read, but WIndows Forms, and UML, two very important topics. The Chapter 7 on Errors, Debugging and Error handling is brilliant! It doesn't go into too much detail (the book is already huge at 1000 pages), but it covers all you need to know to start experiementing, and what's more you 'feel' like experimenting after reading it! This also applies to the great Exercises, including the 20 or so lines of code to reproduce an ASCII mandlebrot fractal in the command window! VERY accessible.
There are a few typos (though nowhere near as many as in the not-so-good Weekend Crash Course in C#!), but not everything is perfect... :)
Also, the size of the book is daunting, but once you start following the chapters and exercises, if you are truly going for learning C#, OOP, and .NET as a whole, you seriously do not notice, and after a couple of weeks, you are finished!
Brilliant book... 9 thumbs up!
