Head First C#
Head First C# is a complete learning experience for
object-oriented programming, C#, and the Visual Studio IDE.
Built for your brain, this book covers Visual C# 2008,
Visual Studio 2008, and the .NET Framework 3.5, and teaches
everything from language fundamentals to advanced topics
including garbage collection, extension methods,
and
double-buffered animation. You'll also master C#'s hottest
and newest syntax, LINQ, for querying your data in .NET
collections, SQL databases, and more. By the time you're
through, you'll be a proficient Visual C# programmer,
designing and coding large-scale applications.
Every few chapters you will come across a lab that lets you
apply what you've learned up to that point. Each lab is
designed to simulate a professional programming task,
increasing in complexity until-at last-you build a working
Invaders game, complete with shooting ships, aliens
descending while firing, and an animated death sequence for
unlucky starfighters. This remarkably engaging book will
have you going from zero to 60 with Visual C# in no time
flat.
