Now Stan Lippman brings you C# using his famed primer format. C# PRIMER is a
comprehensive, example-driven introduction to this new object-oriented programming
language.
C# is a cornerstone of Microsoft's new .NET platform. Inheriting many features from both Java and C++, C# is destined to become the high-level programming language of choice for building high-performance Windows and Web applications and
components--from XML-based Web services to middle-tier business objects and
system-level applications.
First, you will tour the language, looking at built-in features such as the class
mechanism, class inheritance, and interface inheritance--all while you build small
programs. Next, you will explore the various library domains supported within the
.NET class framework. You will also learn how to use the language and class
framework to solve problems and build quality programs.
Highlights include:
• Covers fundamentals such as namespaces, exception handling, and unified
type system
• Presents a wide-ranging tour of the .NET class library, introducing ADO.NET
and establishing database connections and the use of XML
• Provides XML programming using the firehose and DOM parser models,
XSLT, XPATH, and schemas
• Focuses on ASP.NET Web Form Designer, walking through the page life-
cycle and caching, and providing a large number of examples.
• Introduces .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR)
Adding C# to your toolbox will not only improve your Web-based programming
ability, but also increase your productivity. C# PRIMER provides a solid foundation to build upon and a refreshingly unbiased voice on Microsoft's vehicle to effective and efficient Web-based programming.
