Summary

Computing with C# demystifies the art of programming with C# through an introduction rich with clear explanations and intuitive examples. Both novice and experienced programmers will find that this text serves as an accessible and thorough guide to object-oriented and event-driven programming concepts. Readers develop a mastery of objects through the author's spiral teaching approach: first straightforward examples are presented, then simple class design, and finally the more difficult aspects of inheritance and polymorphism. The author applies his spiral teaching approach throughout the text, and readers acquire a meaningful understanding of programming concepts and techniques. This text sets the standard for today's C# programming books; instructors and students alike will benefit from the rich learning experience that this text provides.
