Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Aimed at the reader with some previous programming experience, C# and the .NET Platform provides an enjoyable and well-paced tutorial for learning C# and Microsoft's new .NET Framework. This well-written guide is all you need to get onboard with the latest in Windows development.

Today, there are a growing number of titles available for C#. This text strikes an excellent balance between a basic-language tutorial with an authoritative presentation of what's new and better in .NET with coverage of the some of the inner details of the platform, including deployment. The author's patient writing style is never dull or overly technical, which will mean this book is a good choice for a wide range of readers approaching C# from a variety of languages including C++, Java, and Visual Basic.

At certain points, the author looks at "intermediate language" (IL) bytecodes that underlie the C# language. This is particularly informative in chapters that look at assemblies and deployment. As a tour of the basics of the C# language, this book distinguishes itself with short effective examples (many of which use a set of classes modelling cars). Coverage of programming Windows Forms is really good, as is the chapter on getting the older COM and .NET components to interoperate. The focus of this book is mostly on traditional client-side development, though it does cover the latest in Web development with sections on basic ASP.NET and Web services, which round out the book.

The author does a good job at explaining how .NET works while bringing readers of different abilities up-to-speed with C#. Experts will appreciate the detail on class design, COM, and Web services while beginners will be able to follow the author's well-organised tour of the basics. In all, this combination of strengths makes C# and the .NET Platform an attractive choice in the growing list of titles on Microsoft's latest programming language. --Richard Dragan

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to the .net framework 2.0 and C#., 28 Nov 2007
By John Nunn (Coventry, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform (Expert's Voice) (Hardcover)
This book provides a great introduction to a whole host of features introduced with version 2 of the .net framework. The material is covered in enough depth to make this book usefull long term as a reference text as well as an intro to the subject. A large amount of space is dedicated to the new asp.net membership, roles and profile options as well as the new controls.
As a professional web developer I would highly recommend reading this book, whilst it will only be of direct use to somebody new to Asp.net 2 development the book can provide indirect guidence and assistance to the most seasoned developer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best C# book, FANTASTIC! Just buy it., 27 Oct 2001
By doug@dialin.net (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Thank you Andrew Troelsen for a brilliant work not only on C#/.NET, but on how to write technical books.
I am so often disappointed with technical literature, my shelves are home to many sad tomes.
Not so with anything A.T. writes. I have his book on C++ COM/ATL, which is frankly the best book on the subject. This masterly work follows in that books footsteps, and I am sure, will rise to the top of the C# category in short order.
Andrew's succinct style covers the fundamentals as well as many variations on how to use this cool language in a business like style. He leaves no stone unturned in providing a thorough, comprehensive and most importantly, a painless tutorial. This book is a 'must have' for any serious developer.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you aint got it then WHY???, 8 Jul 2004
This review is from: C# and the .Net Platform (.Net Developer) (Hardcover)
I studied this book from cover to cover. Why? Because I am a C++ programmer who wanted to achieve two things.
1. Learn the C# programming language.
2. Use the .net platform.

Did I achieve both of these goals? Well yes I did.

In fact, from a C++ programmers perspective, you could just read the first few chapters to get you writing C# code. From there on this book gives a good in depth description of the .net platform.

After about four weeks of playing around, I started a full blown C# application and integrated existing DLL's and COM objects, worked across multiple platforms and provided a Web based front end to a robotics system. OK the book did not solve all of my problems, this was down to my experience. But it did highlight how the .net platform worked to allow me to use the platform to its full.

If this book is not on your christmas list, then my guess is that you either want to learn C# the hard way or you have already bought it.
