If you're using Visual Studio 2002 or 2003, this is the book you need to master C# development.
In fact, with this book alone, you’ll soon be creating
professional database applications using ADO.NET and
all the .NET classes, properties, methods, and events
that make C# such a powerful language. But that’s
only part of object-oriented programming using C#. Beyond
that, you’ll be creating your own business classes
and populating them with database data to create multi-tiered
applications. That’s true whether you’re a programming
novice or an experienced Visual Basic, Java, C++, or
mainframe programmer.
Why we say this is the C# book you’ll wish you'd
bought first
#1: Visual Studio productivity
This book teaches you how to develop C# applications
using Visual Studio right from the start. Using the
features of this IDE is one of the keys to development
productivity, but too many C# books don’t get to
it until late in the book…or ignore it entirely!
#2: Object-oriented programming made clear
When it comes to object-oriented programming, most C#
books resort to silly metaphors, like illustrating objects
by creating animal classes such as mammals, cats, and
dogs. Then they leave it up to you to figure out how
to transfer these concepts to business applications.
In contrast, we present business objects such as customers,
invoices, and products so you can see how OOP is used
to create multi-tiered applications in the real world.
#3: Confidence in handling business requirements
Learning to use C# classes and OOP techniques isn’t
enough. You also have to know how to code for the tasks
that are required in most business applications. In
chapter 7, for example, you’ll learn professional
data validation techniques that we haven’t seen
presented in any competing book…even though data
validation is an essential part of every C# business
application.
#4: Realistic applications give professional polish
This book presents 12 complete, non-trivial applications,
culminating in an Order Entry database application in
chapter 20 that uses business classes, database classes,
and transactions. You won’t find applications like
these in other C# books, even though studying these
applications is the best way to master C# development.
#5: Practice exercises solidify your skills
The exercises at the end of each chapter give you a
chance to apply what you’ve learned and gain valuable,
hands-on experience. And because we provide the starting
points for these exercises here at our site, you get
the maximum amount of practice in a minimum of time.
#6: Paired pages make learning a breeze
If you haven’t ever used one of our books before,
you may want to download a sample chapter before you
buy. If you do, you’ll discover why programmers
are so impressed by our "paired pages" format and why
college students ask their instructors for Murach books.
Not only does this format make learning easier and faster,
but it also makes this the ideal reference book when
you’re on the job.
#7: 100% guarantee
Like all our books, this one is backed by our 90-day
trial period and 100% guarantee. It must teach you C#
the way the top professionals use it, or send it back
for a prompt refund.
So please don’t delay. Get your copy, and let this
book turn you into a top C# developer starting today! |
