Introduction

So you want to learn C# programming? Excellent choice!

C# is a powerful, general-purpose programming language that lets you build desktop, Windows Store, Windows Phone, and web apps. C# provides all of the tools that you need to build a huge variety of applications such as:

● Database applications

● Point of sales systems

● Two- and three-dimensional graphics programs

● Image-processing and photo-manipulation systems

● Computer-aided design (CAD) systems

● Document layout and printing systems

● Hardware control systems

● High-performance games

● Much, much more

NOTE

In case you ever need to mention it at parties, C# is pronounced “see sharp.” It's written C# because the number sign (#) is the closest most keyboards can get to the musical sharp symbol image.

Of course, you won't be able to solve every problem with C#. If you want a program that picks the winning number on a roulette wheel or that can predict stock prices, you may have better luck using tarot cards (or a degree in economics), but for tractable problems C# is a great choice.

This book is a self-paced guide to C# programming in the Visual Studio environment. It uses easy-to-follow lessons, reinforced by step-by-step instructions, screencasts, and supplemental exercises, to help you master C# programming quickly and painlessly. It explains how to write C# programs that interact with the user to read inputs, calculate results, and display outputs. It shows how to read and write files, make printouts, and use databases. It shows how to build programs that run on the Windows desktop, on tablet computers, and on Windows Phones.

This book won't make you an expert, but it will give you a solid understanding of how to write C# programs. When you've finished reading this book and working through the Try It sections and exercises, you'll be able to write non-trivial programs of your own. You may not be able to accurately pick winning lottery numbers (if you do, please let me know!), but you will be able to build some useful programs and you'll be ready to learn more about more specialized topics that interest you such as database programming, file processing, and graphics.

What's New in the Second Edition

This second edition has been modified and expanded to provide more material than the first edition, but it's not intended to be the second in a series. If you read the first edition, don't get the second edition because there's a lot of overlap.

The main differences between this edition and the first are:

● More exercises (almost 400!)

● More screencast videos (more than 12 hours!)

● Windows Store apps

● Windows Phone apps

● A lot more material about Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and eXtensible Markup Language (XAML) (which you can use to build Windows Store and Windows Phone style apps)

To make room for the new material, some of the old material had to go. This edition doesn't cover:

● The clipboard and drag-and-drop

● Bitmap manipulation

● Parallel programming

● Console applications

I'd love to include those topics and many others, but there just isn't room in a book of this size.

Who This Book Is For

This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to write programs using C#. Whether you want to move into a lucrative career as a software developer, add a few new skills to your résumé, or pick up a fascinating new hobby, this book can get you started.

This book does not assume you have any previous programming experience. It assumes you're uninformed rather than an idiot or a dummy. It assumes you can turn your computer on and surf the web but that's about it for previous qualifications. It is suitable as a first programming book for high school or college students, but its self-paced hands-on approach also makes it ideal if you're trying to learn to program on your own.

(I don't want to receive a bunch of flaming e-mails complaining that the material in this book is too basic, so I'm warning you right now. If you've been programming in C++ or Visual Basic for 16 years, don't blame me if a lot of this material seems pretty simple to you. Instead of wasting your time complaining, go find a more advanced book.)

What This Book Covers (And What It Doesn't)

This book explains C# programming. It explains how to write, debug, and run applications that interact with the user and the computer. It shows how to understand object-oriented concepts, perform calculations, manipulate files and strings, produce printouts, and interact with simple databases. It explains how to run programs on your desktop, from the Windows Start menu, with a Windows tablet-style interface, and on a Windows Phone.

Programming in any language is an enormous topic, however, so this book doesn't cover everything. It doesn't explain how to design databases, build cryptographically secure web applications, create multithreaded programs that run on multiple CPUs, or build Xbox games, all tasks that are possible using C#. When you're finished reading this book, however, you'll be ready to move on to more advanced books that cover those topics.
