Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the second in a series of books I designed to help beginners get started with information technology. In the first book, I covered some of the entry-level concepts that computer science students must master. In this volume, you will learn your first programming language, C#.
Do you want to learn C# but don't know where to start? Are other beginner's C# books not really for beginners? This guide assumes nothing and will teach you from absolute scratch.
The C# programming language from Microsoft is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Hop on board and learn how to code in C#.
The Beginner's Guide to C# is designed for true beginners to get started with this powerful programming language. No prior programming experience is required to read and take full advantage of this book.
Readers will need access to a PC to install .NET Core (free download) to run the labs in this book. The guide will also present readers to some affordable cloud-based options that will allow for cloud-based software development.
Starting from the very beginning, The Beginner's Guide to C# will present the reader with an elementary sample program. Once the code in the sample program is explained and reviewed, it will then proceed to add elements that illustrate basic language constructs step-by-step. This process will continue until the demonstration program is fully developed.
This book will review essential language elements such as:
- Loops
- If Statements
- Case Statements
- C# Data Types
- Methods
- Object-Oriented Programming
- and much more.
As a final project, the guide will take the reader through the process of building a complete program that integrates all of the concepts in the book.
By completing the labs and projects in the The Beginner's Guide to C#, the reader will acquire a basic knowledge of the C# programming language and be able to write code.
