Features: C# is a new programming language developed exclusively by Microsoft for the .NET Framework platform. The .NET Framework consists of a runtime environment for executing managed code and a vast library of classes that can accomplish almost all programming tasks. Although many languages can be used to write .NET code, C# is the only language specifically designed for the .NET Framework. Therefore, in the coming years, C# will become the preferred choice for developing .NET applications. This book serves as your guide in learning to write C# programs, progressively explaining the key concepts of C# and .NET. It begins by introducing the C# language and its fundamentals, then delves into how to use C# for object-oriented programming, how to write Windows applications with C#, and how to create dynamic web pages and web services using C#. The two case studies at the end provide multiple complete C# application examples, showcasing the methods of using C# to develop applications. This book is suitable for beginners as well as programmers with relatively limited programming experience who want to transition from languages that do not support object-oriented programming to the .NET Framework.
