Description
Based on the principles of cognitive science and instructional design, Fluent C#, the first in the new Fluent Learning series, is a true tutorial that will help you build effective working models for understanding a large and complex subject: developing .NET Framework applications in C#.
Most introductory books just talk at you and give you "exercises" that have more to do with taking dictation than actually learning. Fluent C# is different. It guides you through learning the way your mind likes to learn: by solving puzzles, making connections, and building genuine understanding instead of just memorizing random facts.
DETAILED INFORMATION ON HOW TO...
? Write .NET applications in C# 2010
? Leverage the incredible power of the .NET Framework Class Library
? Apply Object-Oriented principles, Design Patterns, and best practices to your code
? Develop desktop applications using the powerful Windows Presentation Foundation user interface API
