The Complete Reference C# 4.0 - Herbert Schildt

What’s Inside

This book describes C# 4.0. It is divided into two parts. Part I provides a comprehensive discussion of the C# language, including the new features added by version 4.0. This is the largest part in the book, and it describes the keywords, syntax, and features that define the language. I/O, file handling, reflection, and the preprocessor are also discussed in Part I. 

Part II explores the C# class library, which is the .NET Framework class library. This library is huge! Because of space limitations, it is not possible to cover the entire .NET Framework class library in one book. Instead, Part II focuses on the core library, which is contained in the System namespace. Also covered are collections, multithreading, the Task Parallel Library and PLINQ, and networking. These are the parts of the library that nearly every C# programmer will use.

C# Development - Rob Miles

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Rob Miles™. This is a world of bad jokes, puns, and programming. In this book I'm going to give you a smattering of the C# programming language. If you have programmed before I'd be grateful if you'd still read the text. It is worth it just for the jokes and you may actually learn something. If you have not programmed before, do not worry. Programming is not rocket science it is, well, programming. The bad news about learning to program is that you get hit with a lot of ideas and concepts at around the same time when you start, and this can be confusing. The keys to learning programming are:

Practice – do a lot of programming and force yourself to think about things from a problem solving point of view

Study – look at programs written by other people. You can learn a lot from studying code which other folk have created. Figuring out how somebody else did the job is a great starting point for your solution. And remember that in many cases there is no best solution, just ones which are better in a particular context, i.e. the fastest, the smallest, the easiest to use etc.

Persistence – writing programs is hard work. And you have to work hard at it. The principle reason why most folks don't make it as programmers is that they give up. Not because they are stupid. However, don't get too persistent. If you haven't solved a programming problem in 30 minutes you should call time out and seek help. Or at least walk away from the problem and come back to it. Staying up all night trying to sort out a problem is not a good plan. It just makes you all irritable in the morning. We will cover what to do when it all goes wrong later in these notes.

About the Author

TREY NASH is a principal software engineer working on PC Bluetooth solutions at Cambridge Silicon Radio. Prior to that, he called Macromedia Inc. home for five years. At Macromedia, he worked on a cross-product engineering team for several years, designing solutions for a wide range of products throughout the company, including Flash and Fireworks. He specialized in COM/DCOM using C/C++/ATL until the .NET revolution. He’s been glued to computers ever since he scored his first, a TI-99/4A, when he was a mere 13 years old. He astounded his parents by turning a childhood obsession into a decent paying career, much to their dismay. Trey received his bachelor of science and his master of engineering degrees in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University. When he’s not sitting in front of a computer, you can find him working in his garage, honing his skills in card magic, playing his piano, brushing up on a foreign language (Russian and Icelandic are the current favorites), or playing ice hockey.

(Sybex) Mastering Visual C#.net - A. Russell Jones

What's in This Book?

This is a book of exploration (mine) as much as it is a book of explication. Microsoft's .NET framework is extremely well designed for such a large and complex entity— but it  s both large and complex. The biggest problem I faced during the writing of this book wasn't what to include, but what to leave out, and that is a severe problem. There's so much material I would have liked to include, but time, space, the dramatic changes in the .NET framework and Visual Studio during the early portions of the writing and my own still-immature knowledge of the .NET framework prevented that. The driving force behind this book was the idea that .NET provides a completely new model for building Web applications, as well as two brand-new languages for doing so (C# and VB.NET) and an  expanded version of server-side JScript (JScript.NET).
