Microsoft Visual C# 2005, An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

by Joyce Farrell

Microsoft Visual C# 2005, An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Second Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing programs in C#, a language developed by Microsoft as part of their Visual Studio .NET platform. With C#, you can build small, reusable components that are well-suited to twenty-first century Web-based programming applications. Although similar to Java and C++, many features of C# make it easier to learn and ideal for the beginning programmer. You can program in C# using a simple text editor and the command prompt, or you can manipulate program components using Visual Studio's sophisticated Integrated Development Environment. This book provides you with the tools to use both techniques.

About the author

"When I write my books I use the same language, examples, analogies, and entertaining exercises that made my class sessions fun and made the lessons stick. I was always thrilled when former students would return for a visit and tell me how they were able to solve problems at their new jobs when others were stumped because of the thorough programming backgrounds they got in my courses." -Joyce Farrell
