Opis

A quick and practical introduction to the C# programming language. The text includes complete programing examples that highlight the core features of this language. In this book you will learn about: Using C# with a traditional compile run cycle, using C# within the Developer Studio environment, different data types supported in C#, control structures and input and output (i/o) in C#, key features of C# and their relationship to C, C++, Java and other programming languages.
