Beginning Visual C#

By using this book with Visual Studio® .NET you’ll come to understand the fundamentals of the C# language and learn to program the .NET Framework. We’ll help you succeed – from your first steps in the language up to the point where you are ready to write real world C# applications.
With Beginning Visual C#, you will learn how to use Visual C# from first principles. Visual C# is an object-oriented programming language, designed specifically for programming Microsoft’s new platform, the .NET Framework. You’ll quickly and easily learn how to write Visual C# code and create your own applications – for both Windows and the Web.
This book will be an indispensable guide as you learn to write C# programs, gradually explaining the key concepts of Visual C# and .NET as your skills develop, with exercises at the end of chapters to test yourself. Starting with a thorough tutorial of the Visual C# language and object-oriented programming, you will progress to learn how to apply your understanding to programming the .NET Framework.
What you need to know
Beginning Visual C# is ideal for beginners with little background in programming, or relatively inexperienced programmers who want to move from a language that doesn’t support object-oriented programming techniques. The book moves at a fast enough pace that if you have programmed in another language, then you will still find the book valuable.
You will need to have access to either Visual Studio .NET or Visual C# .NET Standard Edition.
