Murach's C#

Murach's C#

Author: Joel Murach, Doug Lowe
Publisher: Murach

Review

If you want to learn how to use C# for developing professional Windows applications using Visual Studio .NET, then Murach's C# is an excellent choice.

This book is ideal for both beginner and experienced programmers. This is achieved by using a modular instructional method that allows you to set your own pace through the material.

Section 1 introduces the basics of the Visual Studio IDE and the .NET Framework. Sections 2 and 3 use a self-paced modular approach to teach the coding skills needed to become productive in C#. Section 4 shows you how to use ADO.NET to develop database applications using C#. This section contains five chapters on ADO.NET which could alone be viewed as an ADO.NET book. The 5th and final section contains specialized skills for the C# developer. Topics include, how to work with text and binary files, how to work with XML, and how to enhance the user interface.

Features provided in this book that you won't find in other C# books include, end of chapter exercises that are drawn from real world business applications, 12 complete business applications, and the Murach paired pages format, with the syntax and guidelines of the left hand page and examples on the right.

If you're looking for a C# book, then Murach's C# is a wise choice that will provide an excellent return on your investment and will have you developing real world .NET applications in no time.
