资源说明：Since the release of the Microsoft .NET Framework in July 2000, the C# programming language has
gone through a few iterations to its latest version, 3.0. Over the years, the C# language has gained a lot
of followers, partly due to its syntax, which is familiar to Java and C programmers. The clear syntax of
the language made it easy to learn, and it ’ s a popular choice for beginning programmers. In addition, the
C# language is gaining a lot of traction in the Visual Basic camp, especially among VB6 programmers,
who needed to move to .NET and did not want to learn a totally new variant of the Visual Basic
language — Visual Basic .NET.
The latest version of C# 3.0 comes with .NET Framework 3.5. It contains many new features that
makes the language more intuitive and powerful. Coupled with Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft ’ s flagship
development environment, developing applications using C# is now available to a wide audience.
In writing this book, I used the approach I believe is the easiest way to learn a new language — by
examples. Often, books and articles get into too much of the theory without showing the readers what
the concept looks like in code. For each topic, I try to provide numerous examples to illustrate the
concept, and I would encourage you to make changes to the program to explore further. If you are an
experienced programmer, you can jump directly to a particular chapter, as each chapter comes with
independent examples.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for programmers of all levels. Beginning programmers should find the C# language easy to
learn through the many code examples provided in each chapter. Experienced programmers can jump
directly to individual chapters covering the topics of interest to them.
A conscious effort is made to illustrate each topic with independent code examples so that readers who
want clarification on a topic do not need to wade through the entire chapter.
This book is ideal for the working programmer as well as students taking a semester course in
C# programming. The sample projects covered in chapters16 to 20 provide numerous project ideas as
well as motivation for readers to get started working on bigger projects.
What This Book Covers
This book is divided into three parts. Part I covers the C# language fundamentals; Part II covers
application development using C#, and Part III provides three appendices that cover the list of
C# keywords, the .NET class libraries, and document generation using the Sandcastle utility.
