Temporarily out of stock.

C# was designed from the ground up for development on Microsoft's .NET framework. As such, it's a high-performance language that's simple, safe, object-oriented, and Internet-centric. Programming C#, 3rd Edition teaches this new language in a way that experienced programmers will appreciate--by grounding its applications firmly in the context of Microsoft's .NET platform and the development of desktop and Internet applications.Bestselling author Jesse Liberty has updated this latest edition to reflect the release of Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Framework 1.1. He's also added an entirely new chapter demonstrating various web forms and web services applications, and enlarged and expanded his coverage of events and delegates in response to numerous reader requests. He's even added tips for programmers coming from VB and C++ backgrounds.The first part of this book introduces C# fundamentals, then goes on to explain:

Classes and objects
Inheritance and polymorphism
Operator overloading
Structs and interfaces
Arrays, indexers, and collections
String objects and regular expressions
Exceptions and bug handling
Delegates and events

Part two of Programming C#, 3rd Edition focuses on development of desktop and Internet applications, including Windows Forms, ADO.NET and ASP.NET. ASP.NET includes Web Forms, for rapid development of web applications, and Web Services for creating objects without user interfaces, to provide services over the Internet.Part three gets to the heart of the .NET Framework, focusing on attributes and reflection, remoting, threads and synchronization, and streams. Part three also illustrates how to interoperate with COM objects.In much the way that you can see the features and personality of the parents and grandparents in young children, you can easily see the influence of Java, C++, Visual Basic, and other languages in C#. The level of information in Programming C#, 3rd Edition allows you to become productive quickly with C# and to rely on it as a powerful addition to your family of mastered programming languages.

Product description

Review

"If the 4th Edition, whenever it's released, manages to at least mention the Open Source alternative - although more complete information would be better - that would definitely merit a Top Stuff award because finally the book would be complete. However, as things stand, this book falls short of greatness by a penguin's breadth - it's a solid reference guide that you'll keep returning to for years to come, but needs that little extra "oomph" to win us over completely." - Paul Hudson, linuxFormat, September 2003

A close to perfect introduction if you know other languages

ByJeremy Mcgeeon 31 December 2004

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If, like me, you cut your teeth programming other languages, this is the book for you. Jesse gets straight to the point on a whistle-stop tour of the key features of the language.
The examples are well chosen and focus on good specific illustrations of the features in question.
If you need details on why the more complex features are implemented in the way they are, then look elsewhere. If you're a programmer that just needs to get the job done - look no further.

Very good introduction to the language

ByChrison 14 July 2004

Format: Paperback

I found the book to be very good, a good way to learn the language. Please do not think that you will be doing Visual C#, this book is for those who want to really learn C#. If you want to know how to drop components on a Windows Form this book is not for you. Coming from a C++ and Java background I found it very easy to read, yet it is indepth enough and good even for beginners. (a little knowledge of basic programming concepts is preferred)
Covers all the good stuff, threading, networking, IO, just enough on deployment and more.

Great book - excellent buy!

ByVarunion 8 August 2003

Format: Paperback

This is a really good programming book with a very high usefulness : bulkiness ratio :). It is easily one of the better C# books I've come across. It's an easy read, quite comprehensive and covers all bases as far as the language is concerned. It's pitched at intermediate programmers who want to switch to C# - though it is fairly easy to follow for beginners and contains some useful information for advanced programmers.
It comes in 3 sections - the C# Language, Programming with C# and the CLR and .Net Framework. All sections are well covered, though none go into too much depth. It also has a lot of code...most of which is practical and quite useful.
It also has plenty of useful tips for C, C++ and VB programmers and even a few for Java programmers curious to see what all the fuss is about :)

OK but...

ByA customeron 17 August 2004

Format: Paperback

I bought this hoping to be able to get myself bootstrapped into .NET and the CLR and in that way it certainly suceeded.
However it is rather too formulaic and tends to describe 'what to do' not 'how it works and therefore what the paradigm is'.
However most of my annoyance comes from the obvious typos in the code sections. It is almost as if the test example was written compiled and tested and then gratuitously changed by a computer illiterate sub-ed. In other cases the example code was needlessly poor.

Poor

ByA customeron 16 August 2004

Format: Paperback

The book it self is ok, that aside C# is a non intuative language to use.
Not sure why half the book is deadicated to creating Console Applications, I would prefer these examples applied to a web orientated example.
The downloadable examples are incomplete to the book and Ive emailed Jesse several times without a reply or acknowledgment of the email. Not Impressed.
