Whether you’re a total novice or a programmer shifting to C#,
the newest version of this programming language is full of cool
features you’ll want to use. With its Visual Studio
compatibility, C# is the perfect language for building Windows
Vista applications. And the 2008 version works with LINQ, a query
language with syntax similar to SQL but which simplifies database
code and can also write queries on XML files.
For the best basic C# how-to, it’s hard to beat C# 2008
For Dummies. This plain-English guide to programming with C#
can have you creating your first console application before you
finish Part I. In fact, the basic template you create at that point
will be the foundation of many other apps as you move through the
book. Along the way you’ll get the scoop on organizing your
data, object-oriented programming (also known as OOP), and a great
LINQ-related feature called delegates and events. You’ll find
out how to
* Create a console application template
* Perform logical comparisons
* Work with loops and if statements
* Understand collection syntax
* Use interfaces and object-oriented concepts
* Apply delegates and events, and much more
You’ll even gain some rare insight into how to understand
error messages you may get when programming in C#. All the code you
need can be found on the companion Web site, along with great bonus
information that helps you do more with C# 2008. So — what
are you waiting for? Grab C# 2008 For Dummies and
let’s get started!
