Illustrated C# 7: The C# Language Presented Clearly, Concisely, and Visually

Description

Get to work quickly with C# with a uniquely succinct and visual format used to present the C# 7.0 language. Whether you’re getting to grips with C# for the first time or working to deepen your understanding, you’ll find this book to be a clear and refreshing take on each aspect of the language. Figures are of prime importance in this book. While teaching programming seminars, Daniel Solis found that he could almost watch the light bulbs going on over the students’ heads as he drew the figures on the whiteboard. In this text, he has distilled each important concept into simple but accurate illustrations. For this latest edition, Dan is joined by fellow experienced teacher and programmer, Cal Schrotenboer, to bring you the very latest C# language features, along with an understanding of the frameworks it most often lives in: .NET and the new .NET Core. For something as intricate and precise as a programming language, there must be text as well as figures. But rather than long, wordy explanations, the authors use short, concise descriptions and bullet lists to make each important piece of information visually distinct and memorable. What You’ll Learn Start with an overview of C# programming and how the language works under the hood Put things in context with a little useful history of C# and .NET Know how .NET Core fits into the picture Understand how C# handles typesBenefit from clear, concise explanations of each language feature, from classes and inheritance to enumerators and iterators, and the new C# 7.0 tuplesQuickly access material via this book's visual introduction to asynchronous programming with C# Who This Book Is For Novice to intermediate C# programmers, and more experienced programmers moving to C# from other languages Front Matter ....Pages i-xxxiv C# and the .NET Framework (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 1-15 C# and .NET Core (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 17-22 Overview of C# Programming (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 23-42 Types, Storage, and Variables (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 43-57 Classes: The Basics (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 59-76 Methods (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 77-127 More About Classes (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 129-174 Classes and Inheritance (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 175-215 Expressions and Operators (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 217-259 Statements (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 261-292 Structs (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 293-301 Enumerations (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 303-316 Arrays (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 317-346 Delegates (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 347-370 Events (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 371-386 Interfaces (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 387-413 Conversions (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 415-443 Generics (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 445-484 Enumerators and Iterators (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 485-506 Introduction to LINQ (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 507-564 Introduction to Asynchronous Programming (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 565-627 Namespaces and Assemblies (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 629-657 Exceptions (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 659-679 Preprocessor Directives (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 681-692 Reflection and Attributes (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 693-719 What’s New in C# 6 and 7 (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 721-750 Other Topics (Daniel Solis, Cal Schrotenboer)....Pages 751-783 Back Matter ....Pages 785-799
