In this book, as creators of a university-level C# course, the authors guide you step by step through the C# language with numerous example codes. The book offers a unique perspective tailored to developer needs. The authors first introduce the key features of C# and explain them in comparison with C/C++. They then discuss practical C# programming strategies and introduce critical C# concepts through complete, progressively detailed example codes. This book will help you:
- Understand how C# incorporates the essence of C and C++.
- Design simple C# graphical interfaces to experience the power of Windows.
- Comprehensively explain key C# language features: control statements, loops, keywords, arrays, pointers, and more.
- Grasp key C# concepts through complete example codes that run in the Visual Studio .NET console mode.
If you have experience with C or C++, this book will help you expand your existing knowledge. If you haven’t learned C or C++ before, you can still use it to start learning C# from scratch. Regardless, through this book, you will be able to write true, efficient .NET applications. It guides programmers to quickly enter the C# world and master C# programming techniques.
