Beginning C# Objects: From Concepts to Code is a comprehensive yet approachable guide for anyone interested in learning the C# language, beginning with the basics. To begin, this book addresses the two fundamental concepts that programmers must grasp in order to write a professional object-oriented C# application: the nature and characteristics of objects, and the structure that allows you to take best advantage of C#’s object-oriented makeup. In addition to the basics of C# syntax, this book introduces object terminology—teaching you how to think in terms of objects—and provides an introduction of object modeling, illustrating how to translate an object model into C# code with ease. For folks who have already attempted to learn C# but are still having trouble mastering C#'s object-oriented nature, the case study format of this book will be invaluable in showing you how to translate a UML model into a fully-functional C# application. An overwhelming number of programmers are now moving to C# as their language of choice for developing powerful, maintainable, scalabe software applications. Whether you’re learning C# as your first programming language, moving to C# from a non-object-oriented language, or have previously programmed with C# but still feel unsure when it comes to object aspects, this book is a perfect fit for you.

The new C# language and Internet software services have received much of the attention surrounding Microsoft’s new .NET environment. However, Microsoft has also redesigned the way Windows desktop applications will be created and deployed in the future. Intended as a tutorial for C++ and Java programmers at all levels, this book shows how C# and the .NET framework can be used to develop Windows applications with .NET. As a way to demonstrate how Windows Forms applications are constructed, the book provides a chapter-by-chapter guide to building an image application to view, share, and manage digital photos stored on a hard drive or on removable media. Also discussed are Visual Studio 7.0, C# language syntax and usage, Windows Forms controls, ADO.NET, and other topics vital to the creation and deployment of Windows applications in this new environment.

C# is designed to work with .NET to provide a new framework for programming on the Windows platform. This comprehensive reference prepares you to program in C#, while at the same time providing the necessary background in how the .NET architecture works.

In this all-new third edition, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of C# and find updated coverage of application deployment and globalization. You’ll gain a working knowledge of the language and be able to apply it in the .NET environment, build Windows forms, access databases with ADO.NET, write components for ASP.NET, take advantage of .NET support for working with COM and COM+, and much more.

Professional C#, 3rd Edition, is the complete C# resource for developers, packed with code and examples that have been updated for the latest release — the .NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003.

A Programmer’s Introduction to C#, Second Edition is designed as a comprehensive reference to the C# language and is designed to help experienced programmers get up-to-speed on C#. Author Eric Gunnerson is a developer on Microsoft’s C# design team and has logged many hours writing and testing C# code. As such, he is uniquely poised to teach developers the effective use of this new language. Gunnerson also explains to readers how C# fits into Microsoft’s new .NET framework. Gunnerson provides the foundation to let experienced programmers begin to develop in C#. Among the core topics covered are everything from C# basic statements and flow of execution, to classes, structs, interfaces, expressions, arrays, enums, delegates and events, exception handling, interoperability, and more! The final section of the book provides a history of C#, and a language comparison to other widely used programming languages. New features in this edition include coverage of how to develop a GUI application using Windows Forms and in-depth information on advanced topics such as threading and execution-time code generation.
