Synopsis
C# is the key language for Microsoft's next generation of Windows
services, the .NET platform. This new programming language is fast and
modern and was designed to increase programmer productivity. C#
enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for
the new Microsoft .NET platform. The .Net platform enables developers
to build C# components to become Web services available across the
Internet. Using C# language constructs, these components can be
converted into Web services, allowing them to be invoked across the
Internet.
Gunnerson's book is designed as a comprehensive reference for
professional programmers to help get them up to speed on C#. The
author is a lead developer on Microsoft's C# development team, and has
logged many developer hours writing and testing C# code. As such, he
is uniquely poised to teach developers the effective use of this new
language. A Microsoft insider, Gunnerson is also able to explain to
readers how C# fits into Microsoft's new .NET framework. A final
section of the book provides a history of C#, and a language
comparison to other widely used programming languages.
Gunnerson's book provides a foundation upon which programmers can
begin to develop in C#. Among the core topics covered are the COM+
environment, statements and flow of execution, classes, structs,
interfaces, expressions, arrays, enums, delegates and events,
exception handling, interoperability, and selected advanced topics.
