Excerpts

Preface PrefaceWelcome to the C# 2008 FundamentalsLiveLessons . This two-part sequence presents object-oriented programming in C# using Microsoft Visual C#reg; 2008 and .NET 3.5. After studying the fundamental topics presented here, you'll have the foundation you need to learn more about C# programming on the .NET platform. What You Will Learn Features of Visual C# 2008 and C# 3.0. To build, compile and run applications with the Visual C# 2008 Express and Visual Studio 2008 Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). The classes and interfaces in the .NET Framework Class Library and the MSDN online documentation to locate the features you need. Formatted input and output capabilities. Arithmetic, increment, decrement, assignment, relational, equality and logical operators. Control statements. Simple types and their corresponding common language runtime types. Methods, method overloading and methods with variable-length argument lists. Arrays and strings, and how they are manipulated as objects. Generic collections. Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Object-oriented programming concepts including classes, objects, encapsulation, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes and abstract methods. To use and create your own static methods and static variables. To package your own classes to create reusable class libraries. To use exception handling to make your programs more robust. The fundamentals of event-driven graphical user interface (GUI) programming with Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Rich Internet Application (RIA) development with Microsoft Silverlight.Who Should Use TheseLiveLessons?TheC# 2008 FundamentalsLiveLessonsare intended for students and professionals who are already familiar with programming fundamentals in a high-level programming language such as C, C++, Java or Visual Basicreg;. Object-oriented programming experience is not required this is a key focus of these LiveLessons . C# 2008 Fundamentals I introduces object-oriented programming fundamentals in C#. C# 2008 Fundamentals II continues with in-depth discussions of object-oriented programming and introduces exception handling, GUIs with Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and Microsoft Silverlight. Teaching ApproachIn theC# 2008 FundamentalsLiveLessons, author Paul Deitel concentrates on the principles of good software engineering and stresses program clarity, teaching by example. Paul is a professional trainer who presents leading-edge courses to government, industry, the military and academia.Live-Code Approach . TheseLiveLessonsare loaded with "live-code" examplesthat is, each new concept is presented in the context of a complete working C# application. In addition to discussing the new concepts in each application, Paul executes the application so you can see the concepts "in action." This style exemplifies the way Deitel teaches and writes about programming at Deitel & Associates; they call this the "live-code" approach.Object-Oriented Throughout
