Description
Learn how to build winning C# applications, start to finish -- and master the full power of Microsoft's .NET platform! In this 1100-page book, the best-selling authors of the How to Program Series apply their proven methodology and signature signature Live-Code (TM) Approach to teaching C# application development! KEY TOPICS: You'll start with an introduction to C# and basic C# programs, and C#'s relationship to Microsoft's .NET and the Visual Studio.NET development environment. After examining methods and arrays, the Deitels present an in-depth introduction to object-oriented programming. They introduces powerful exception handling techniques for building mission critical software; followed by in-depth coverage of C#-based GUI development. Coverage also includes: multithreading, strings, characters, regular expressions, graphics, files, streams, and more. Next, you'll extend your C# applications to leverage XML and .NET, as you master ADO.NET database access and ASP.NET Web services delivery. From networking to security, the Deitels present hundreds of expert tips on good programming practices, avoiding errors, maximizing performance, testing, and debugging. MARKET: For beginning programmers, and for developers experienced with traditional languages who want to master C# quickly.
