{"product_id":"9781430242796","title":"Illustrated C# 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents the C# 5.0 language in a uniquely succinct and visual format. Often in programming books, the information can be hidden in a vast sea of words. As a programmer who has over the years used a dozen programming languages, the author understands it can sometimes be difficult to slog through another 1,000-page book of dense text to learn a new language. There are likely many other programmers who feel the same way. To address this situation, this book explains C# 5.0 using figures; short, focused code samples; and clear, concise explanations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures are of prime importance in this book. While teaching programming seminars, \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Solis\u003c\/strong\u003e found that he could almost watch the light bulbs going on over the students’ heads as he drew the figures on the whiteboard. In this text, he has distilled each important concept into simple but accurate illustrations. The visual presentation of the content will give you an understanding of C# that’s not possible with text alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor something as intricate and precise as a programming language, however, there must be text as well as figures. But rather than long, wordy explanations, Solis has used short, concise descriptions and bulleted lists to make each important piece of information visually distinct. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, you’ll have a thorough working knowledge of all aspects of the C# language, whether you’re a novice programmer or a seasoned veteran of other languages. If you want a long, leisurely, verbose explanation of the language, this is not the book for you. But if you want a concise, thorough, visual presentation of C# 5.0, this is just what you’re looking for.   \u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDetails of the C# 5.0 language presented in a clear, concise treatment \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNew features in the latest version of .NET, version 4.5, in the author’s unique visual style \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow C# differs from and is similar to other programming languages, aiding migrating C++ and VB programmers who already know how languages work \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVisual Basic programmers interested in moving to C# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eC++ programmers interested in moving to C# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNovice programmers interested in learning C# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStudents in introductory programming classes learning C# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e             Table of Contents\u003col\u003e  \u003cli\u003eC# and the .NET Framework \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eOverview of C# Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTypes, Storage, and Variables \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eClasses: The Basics \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMethods \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMore About Classes \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eClasses and Inheritance \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExpressions and Operators \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStatements \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStructs \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEnumerations \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eArrays \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDelegates \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEvents \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInterfaces \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eConversions \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGenerics \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEnumerators and Iterators \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to LINQ \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Asynchronous Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNamespaces and Assemblies \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExceptions \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePreprocessor Directives \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReflection and Attributes \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eOther Topics \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127869882608,"sku":"9781430242796","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430242796_p0.jpg?v=1763750946","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430242796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
