Writing programs is Fun! This e-book will have you coding your very own C# programs in no time! With fun cartoons and easy to follow code samples, you’ll be creating your own inventions in no time! The book is divided into 5 Parts.
Book Description
It is possible to create C# programs using nothing but a simple text editor (like Notepad) and something called the “C# compiler” included with the .NET Framework. To make things a little easier though, and to make sure you can carry on further once you’ve read this book, we suggest you use a development environment such as Visual C# Express. It is a lightweight environment for developing Windows applications and console (command-line) applications, using C#.
It’s important that you understand that this book is not about teaching you about the Visual C# Express Edition software product – rather it teaches you about the C# language. Visual C# Express also has lots of snazzy features like writing C# code for you when you drag-and-drop a button or other control onto the page. That’s cool and you’re welcome to use it – but this book aims to teach you C# “from the ground up”. We’d like you to learn to write C# code by hand first – so that you really understand what’s happening.
