Synopsis

Having written comprehensive references on other programming languages and a beginners' guide to C#, Schildt here takes the next obvious step. The language, he explains, was devised by Microsoft to support its .NET Framework, and, like Java, supports distributed programming and uses intermediate code. He assumes no programming experience. Visual Studio .NET 7 or later is required. There is no bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
