Learning C# 2005: Get Started with C# 2.0 and .NET Programming (2nd Edition)

If you're a novice programmer and you want to learn C#, there aren't many books that will guide you. Most C# books are written for experienced C++ and Java programmers.

That's why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C# and Programming ASP.NET , has written an entry-level guide to C#.

Written in a warm and friendly manner, Learning C# assumes no prior programming experience, and provides a thorough introduction to Microsoft's premier .NET language. The book helps you build a solid foundation in .NET, and shows you how to apply your skills through the use of dozens of tested examples. You'll learn about the syntax and structure of the C# language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings.

Better yet, this updated edition of Learning C# has been completely revised to include the very latest content and teaching techniques. Here's what's new:

• A detailed explanation of C# 2.0

• An introduction to Visual Studio 2005, a tool set for building Windows and web applications

• More than 200 questions and programming exercises to help you better judge your understanding of the material

• A greater emphasis on event handling

• Information on generics and generic collections

By the time you've finished Learning C# , you'll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications.

Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Learning C# will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the C# language.
