Visual C# 2005 How to Program (2nd Edition) (How to Program)

WARNING: Quite frankly this is not a book for beginning programming students. It moves at an accelerated rate and does not offer any basic examples of introduced material. You MUST have your basic OOP concepts down cold BEFORE you begin reading. I heard this a lot about Deitel books, so please be aware. For example: in Ch. 9 Classes and Objects: A Deeper Look, he introduces us to Indexers (simply a way of accessing an object like an array). He offers a brief discussion, a syntax example and immediately goes into a 3-page code example that completely convolutes the description/definition of a very simple point. I've heard this complaint a lot about Deitel books and it primarily boils down to balancing the goals of building a tool for students (which he claims this is for) and an accurate reference for Academic Faculty or Industry approval. He claims to have had (3) student interns on the book, however I suspect they were in advanced degree curricula, thus not really qualified to offer a beginners viewpoint. Regardless, I must confess I have not covered the book completely cover to cover, and must concede that this book does contain a vast ocean of material for reference. However, I suspect that many will be rereading material over and over again (besides trips to MSDN to get better descriptions). Also, the ink on the pages smear like crazy. At least I know where I've been...

Learn how to build winning C# applications, start to finish, using the Deitels' proven methodology and signature Live-Code(tm) Approach! This new edition includes extensive use of Visual Studio 2005's new visual programming tools that tremendously reduce the amount of code programmers need to write in ADO.NET and ASP.NET applications. With these new tools, programmers can develop powerful ADO.NET and ASP.NET applications quickly and easily. You'll start with an introduction to C# and Visual C# 2005 Express. After examining methods and arrays, the Deitels present an in-depth introduction to object-oriented programming. They introduce powerful exception handling techniques for building mission critical software; followed by in-depth coverage of C#-based GUI development. Coverage also multithreading; strings, characters; regular expressions; graphics; files and streams; and more. Next, you'll extend your C# applications to leverage XML and .NET, as you master ADO.NET database access and ASP.NET Web services delivery. An integrated, optional ATM case study teaches object-oriented design with UML(tm) 2.0 while a new GradeBook case study aids in the discussion of early classes and objects. From networking to security, the Deitels present hundreds of expert tips on good programming practices, avoiding errors, maximizing performance, testing, and debugging. For beginning programmers, and for developers experienced with traditional languages who want to master C# quickly. Provides a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft's new object-oriented language. C# builds on the skills already mastered by C++ and Java programmers, enabling them to create powerful Web applications and components-ranging from XML-based Web services on Microsoft's .NET' platform to middle-tier business objects and system-level applications. Presents the complete Deitel[registered] Live-Code introduction to object-oriented programming with C# 2.0, Visual C#[registered] 2005, ADO.NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0 and Web Services. It includes comprehensive coverage of object-oriented programming in C#, and several major integrated case studies.
