Get comfortable with the most powerful version of the .NET Framework devised yet, by embracing new techniques and innovations to create your applications faster, using a wide range of tools.

The C# 2008 language is your gateway to the powerful .NET platform. C# combined with Visual Studio gives you the freedom to create your applications faster and with a greater range of tools than any other coding environment.

The new .NET "Orcas" Framework is the most powerful yet, devised with new innovations such as Language Integrated Query, making it easy for you to query your databases directly from your C# code; and ASP.NET AJAX, giving you drag-and-drop access to AJAX techniques for your web pages.

With Beginning C# 2008, expert author Christian Gross, will have you creating real applications in the first few pages, continuing with valuable support by building in good design and testing habits into every chapter. You'll learn much more than just the C# language; you'll gradually understand the mindset of a true developer as you progress through the book.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who's just starting out to learn about C#. It doesn't assume any prior knowledge of object-oriented programming, of the .NET Framework, or of coding in general. It simply assumes that you're an intelligent person who wants to learn and starts the journey from there.

Following the successful earlier editions, author Andrew Troelsen is pleased to announce completion of the fourth edition of his acclaimed book:

“Over the years that I’ve spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language. I’m happy to say that this fourth edition of Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 platform is as close to a ‘final release’ as I’ve come yet!”
