Programming C# 3.0 5th Edition
Written by popular author and .NET expert Jesse Liberty,
this thoroughly updated tutorial for beginning to
intermediate programmers covers the latest release of
Microsoft's popular C# language (C# 3.0) and the newest .NET
platform for developing Windows and web applications.
Our bestselling Programming C# 3.0, now in
its fifth
edition, is a world-class tutorial that goes well beyond the
documentation otherwise available. Liberty doesn't just
teach C#; he tells the complete story of the C# language and
how it integrates with all of .NET programming, so that you
can get started creating professional quality web and
Windows applications.
This book:
Provides a comprehensive tutorial in C# and .NET programming
that also serves as a useful reference you'll want by your
side while you're working
Covers all of the new features of the language, thoroughly
integrated into every chapter, rather than tacked on at the
end
Provides insight into best practices and insight into real
world programming by a professional programmer who worked
with C# as an independent contractor for nearly a decade
before joining Microsoft as a Senior Program Manager
Every chapter in this book has been totally revised, and the
entire book has been reorganized to respond to the
significant changes in the language
Full coverage, from the ground up of LINQ (Language
Integrated Query) and other C# 3.0 language innovations to
speed up development tasks
Explains how to use C# in creating Web Applications as well
as Windows Applications, using both the new Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) and the older WinForms
technology
This new edition of Programming C# 3.0 is for working
programmers who want to develop proficiency in Microsoft's
most important language. No prior .NET experience is
required for you to get started. There's no time like the
present to work with C# -- and no book like this one to
teach you everything you need to know.
Special note to VB6 and Java programmers: if you've decided
to transition to .NET, this book will take you there.
