Professional C# 2008 prepares you to program in C#, and it provides the necessary
background information on how the .NET architecture works. It provides examples
of applications that use a variety of related technologies, including database
access, dynamic web pages, advanced graphics, and directory access. The only
requirement is that you are familiar with at least one other high-level language
used on Windows - C++, VB, or J++.
It starts with a tutorial on C# 2008. This introduction assumes no prior knowledge
of .NET, but it does move rapidly, on the assumption that the reader is an experienced
programmer. Once this background knowledge is established, the book starts to
sweep through the vast .NET class library, showing how you can use C# to solve
various tasks. This comprehensive coverage is one of the key selling points
of previous versions of the book, and is maintained and enhanced with this new
edition by updating current text, and by adding chapters on WCF (Windows Communication
Foundation), WF (Windows Workflow Foundation) and WPF (Windows Presentation
Foundation), Arrays, System Transactions, Tracing, and Event Logging. Some reference
material is included either as appendices or is available to download from the
Wrox website.
After the introduction and initial chapter, the book is divided into a number
of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety
of areas. Coverage includes:
• WCF Windows Communication Foundation
• WF Windows Workflow Foundation
• WPF Windows Presentation Foundation
