C# for Students: Revised Edition, 1st edition

If you are new to computer programming then this book is for you! Starting from scratch, it assumes no prior knowledge of programming and is written in a simple, direct style for maximum clarity.

C# ('C Sharp') is an object-oriented, network-enabled programming language, developed expressly for Microsoft's .Net platform.  C# provides the features that are the most important to programmers:  object-orientation, graphics, GUI components, multimedia, internet-based client/server networking and distributed computing.  'C# for Students' explains key programming concepts and the central ideas of object oriented programming, using C# as the vehicle language.

This edition includes a Companion Website.

·    Programming for graphics is used from the start, and graphics are used repeatedly throughout the text to illustrate ideas.  This approach engages the interest of the reader and improves their understanding.

·    Objects introduced later.  Delaying the coverage of objects until basic control structures and methods have been covered gives a firm foundation to the understanding of programming

·    Complete programs are used rather than fragments to aid understanding

·    Examples (an information system, computer game and a mathematical problem) are used to illustrate key programming concepts throughout the text

·    Self test questions will appear on every page, as well as exercises, programming principles and programming pitfalls.  The book is accompanied by a full online supplements package
