Overview
Description
For courses on C# programming found in departments of Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering and Continuing Education.
An exciting addition to the How to Program series, C# How to Program provides a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft's new object-oriented language. C# builds on the skills already mastered by countless C++ and Java programmers, enabling them to create powerful Web applications and components-ranging from XML-based Web services on Microsoft's .NET™ platform to middle-tier business objects and system-level applications. C# How to Program gives students the strong foundation in introductory and intermediate programming principles they'll need in industry. Mastering C# will allow them to create complex systems-using fewer lines of code and reducing the chance for error. The end result is faster development at a decreased cost-and optimum adaptability that makes it easy to keep up with the evolving Web.

We offer the Complete Training Courses in either a CD-ROM or a Web-based format. When professors order the Web-based version of a Complete Training Course, their students receive the corresponding How to Program book packaged with a URL and password that gives them six months of access to the Cyber Classroom software via the Web.
If your customer has already received C# How to Program, please sample only the C# Multimedia Cyber Classroom CD-ROM (0-13-064587-7) to show them the advantages they would get with The Complete Training Course. Please do not sample The Complete Training Course as they will receive a duplicate copy of the main text.
