{"product_id":"9781430225508","title":"Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first edition of this book was released at the 2001 Tech-Ed conference in Atlanta, Georgia. At that time, the .NET platform was still a beta product, and in many ways, so was this book. This is not to say that the early editions of this text did not have merit—after all, the book was a 2002 Jolt Award finalist and it won the 2003 Referenceware Excellence Award. However, over the years that author \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Troelsen\u003c\/strong\u003e spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), he gained a much deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language, and he feels that this fifth edition of the book is as close to a “final release” as he’s come yet. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been comprehensively revised and rewritten to make it accurately reflect the C# 4 language specification for the .NET 4 platform. You’ll find new chapters covering the important concepts of dynamic lookups, named and optional arguments, Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), improved COM interop, and variance for generics.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf you’re checking out this book for the first time, do understand that it's targeted at experienced software professionals and\/or graduate students of computer science (so don't expect three chapters on iteration or decision constructs!). The mission of this text is to provide you with a rock-solid foundation in the C# programming language and the core aspects of the .NET platform (assemblies, remoting, Windows Forms, Web Forms, ADO.NET, XML web services, etc.). Once you digest the information presented in these 25 chapters, you’ll be in a perfect position to apply this knowledge to your specific programming assignments, and you’ll be well equipped to explore the .NET universe on your own terms. \u003c\/p\u003e  What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBe the first to understand the .NET 4 platform and Visual C# 2010. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDiscover the ins and outs of the leading .NET technology. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLearn from an award-winning author who has been teaching the .NET world since version 1.0. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFind complete coverage of the WPF, WCF, and WF foundations that support the core .NET platform. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is for anyone with some software development experience who is interested in the new .NET Framework 4 and the C# language. Whether you are moving to .NET for the first time or are already writing applications on .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.5, this book will provide you with a comprehensive grounding in the new technology and serve as a complete reference throughout your coding career.         \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe Philosophy of NET \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBuilding C# Applications \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCore C# Programming Constructs, Part I \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCore C# Programming Constructs, Part II \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDefining Encapsulated Class Types \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Inheritance and Polymorphism \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Structured Exception Handling \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Object Lifetime \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWorking with Interfaces \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Generics \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDelegates, Events, and Lambdas \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAdvanced C# Language Features \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLINQ to Objects \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eConfiguring NET Assemblies \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eType Reflection, Late Binding, and Attribute-Based Prog \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProcesses, AppDomains, and Object Contexts \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding CIL and the Role of Dynamic Assemblies \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDynamic Types and the Dynamic Language Runtime \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMultithreaded and Parallel Programming \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFile I\/O and Object Serialization \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eADO.NET Part I: The Connected Layer \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eADO.NET Part II: The Disconnected Layer \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eADO.NET Part III: The Entity Framework \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroducing LINQ to XML \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroducing Windows Communication Foundation \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroducing Windows Workflow Foundation 40 \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroducing Windows Presentation Foundation and XAML \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProgramming with WPF Controls \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWPF Graphics Rendering Services \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWPF Resources, Animations, and Styles \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWPF Control Templates and UserControls \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBuilding ASP.NET Web Pages \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eASP.NET Web Controls, Master Pages and Theme \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eASP.NET State Management Techniques \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127552950512,"sku":"9781430225508","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430225508_p0.jpg?v=1763749686","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430225508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
