This book presents the C# language in a uniquely succinct and visual format. Often in programming books, the information can be hidden in a vast sea of words. As a programmer who has over the years used a dozen programming languages, the author understands it canasometimes beadifficult to slog through another 1,000-page book of dense text to learn a new language. There are likelyamany other programmers who feel the same way. To address this situation, this bookaexplains C# using figures; short, focused code samples; and clear, concise explanations. Figures are of prime importance in this book. Whileateaching programming seminars, Daniel Solisafound that heacould almost watch the lightbulbs going on over the studentsO heads as headrew the figures on the whiteboard. In this text, he hasadistilled each important concept into simple but accurate illustrations. The visual presentation of the content will give you anunderstanding of C# thatOs not possible with text alone. For something as intricate and precise as a programming language, however, there must be text as well as figures. But rather than long, wordy explanations, Solis hasaused short, concise descriptions and bulleted lists to make each important piece of information visually distinct. By the end of this book, youOll have a thorough working knowledge of all aspects of the C# language, whether youOre a novice programmer or a seasoned veteran of other languages. If you want a long, leisurely, verbose explanation of the language, this is not the book for you. But if you want a concise, thorough, visual presentation of C#, this is just what youOre looking for.
