Overview

Starting Out with Visual C# is an ideal introductory Visual C# text for everyone, even if you do not have programming experience. Author Tony Gaddis uses step-by-step instructions that are supported by a GUI-based approach to encourage and motivate you as you learn to create event-driven, Visual C# applications. The hands-on tutorials feature clear, down-to-earth explanations and provide detailed walk-throughs that are easy to follow.

The 6th Edition features new and updated discussions, sections and tutorials aligned to Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and the latest versions of C# and .NET. A new Chapter 11 dives deeper into classes. It covers intermediate to advanced topics, including returning objects from methods; writing a ToString method; working with null; the this reference variable; copy constructors; aggregation and composition; anonymous objects; mutable and immutable classes; and class collaboration.

This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed.
