Synopsis

C# ('C Sharp') is an object-oriented, network-enabled programming language, developed expressly for Microsoft's .Net platform. C# provides the features that are the most important to programmers: object-orientation, graphics, GUI components, internet-based client/server networking and distributed computing C# Concisely is an introductory text which teaches object-oriented programming using the C# language.  The reader is involved in object-orientation from the beginning, while developing skills in the use of control structures and data structures. The book covers nearly all of the language and its important namespaces, including collections and  networking, and works through polymorphism and extensibility thoroughly.
 While targeted at first year students, C# Concisely is equally applicable for those wishing to convert from other languages, and will be an invaluable resource for students at all levels.

From the Back Cover

C# is an object-oriented, network-enabled programming language,

developed expressly for Microsoft's .NET platform. C# and the

associated class libraries provide the features that are the most

important to programmers: object-orientation, graphics,

GUI components, internet-based client-server networking and

distributed computing.

 

C# Concisely

is an introductory text which teaches object-oriented

programming using the C# language. The reader is involved in

object-orientation from the beginning, while developing skills in the

use of control structures and data structures. The book covers nearly

all of the language and its important namespaces, including collections

and networking, and works through polymorphism and extensibility

in depth.

 

Key Features

• Strong focus on complete programs as examples throughout the book

• Use of object-oriented concepts from the beginning

• Extensive use of GUIs to give programs a modern and visually

interesting feel

• A chapter and an appendix devoted to debugging C# programs

• Quiz questions and programming exercises are provided at the end of

every chapter.

• Summaries of key language features appear throughout, in a novel and

precise way

• Several appendices cross-reference key features in the book

• Includes a chapter giving a taste of graphics, events, networking and web

programming.

While targeted at first year students, C# Concisely is equally

applicable for those wishing to convert from other languages, and will

be an invaluable resource for students at all levels.
