In June 2000, Microsoft declared its .NET proposal, a new hallucination of language, which is Language independent, Platform independent and has a lot of beneficial features. Microsoft .NET is a platform for building, running, and experiencing the next generation of distributed applications.  It is a programming model that facilitates developers to fabricate applications and Web services.

Part of this innovative technology is a new language, C#. C# is a simple, modern, object oriented language derived from C++ and Java. It aims to merge the high productivity of Visual Basic and the raw power of C++.

The .NET platform provides authoritative capabilities for software development and deployment. The Microsoft’s new software-development model, the .NET will increase the programmer's productivity and decrease development time. 

To whom this book aimed for?

Varieties of C# books starting from Programmers Introduction to Advanced Experienced Programmers are coming from Deitel & Associates, Inc. This book, C#: A Programmer's Introduction is part of the new Deitel Developer Series, intended for Professional software developers -from novices through experienced Programmers. This book is intended for programmers with little programming experience.

Focused treatments of programming fundamentals for practicing programmers and for novices.

   MY My OUTLOOK: 

As I am As I am also one of the reviewers of this book, I perceptibly noticed how much care the Deitel people take for their book to provide a comprehensible book.

Let us see what’s special about the Deitel Series and this book: 

The Live-Code Approach – All the Deitel’s Developer series books provide you the entire concept through Complete set of working programs and portray their inputs and outputs in actual screen shots of running programs. This book provides you 11,550 lines of codes in 152 complete Live-code programs and gives you a clear picture about the concepts.

Another one highlighting point in Deitel series is Syntax Highlighting. This book uses five different style of syntax prominence.

Another one issue, I like very much in the Deitel Book series is the Programming Tips they provide. Since the Programming techniques help the reader to build code that is manageable, reusable and optimized for performance. In this book they provide 353 Programming Tips!

As I already mentioned, this book is intended for programmers with little programming experience. This book starts with C# and .NET fundamentals. In the early chapters it speaks about the Object-oriented programming in C# and covers all the topics from the scratch. Then it covers the Graphical user interface concepts, Multithreading, Files and streams and Exceptional Handling in depth manner with lot of programming examples. This book also endow with all the information about the ADO.NET, XML and ASP.NET along with the Web services. This book makes clear how to create mobile web applications using Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit. Along with a wide spread Appendix, it also gives explanation about Networking and Accessibility-issues.                           

"Comprehensive, In-Depth, Clear, Example rich Book and provide all the practical insight for the Programmer's to dive deep into C#"
