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!
