Synopsis

LEARN VISUAL C# is a comprehensive step-by-step computer programming tutorial covering object-oriented programming, the Visual C# integrated development environment and toolbox, building and distributing Windows applications (using the Windows Installer), exception handling, sequential file input and output, graphics, multimedia effects (animation and sounds), advanced topics such as web access, printing, and HTML help system authoring. The tutorial also introduces database applications (using ADO .NET) and web applications (using ASP.NET). This curriculum has been used in college and universities for over two decades. It is now available as an instructor-led or self-study programming tutorial. It can also be used as a high school advanced placement course.

The focus of LEARN VISUAL C# is to use the existing objects and capabilities of Visual C# to build a wide variety of useful desktop applications. Students will also learn to build their own objects. Some of the applications built include: Stopwatch, Calendar Display, Loan Repayment Calculator, Flash Card Math Game, Database Input Screen, Statistics Calculator, full-featured Note Editor, Tic-Tac-Toe Game, Multiple Choice Quiz, Information Tracker (with plotting), Blackjack, Line, Bar and Pie charts, a version of the first video game ever – Pong, and a Telephone Directory.

LEARN VISUAL C# is presented using a combination of over 850 pages of self-study notes and over 100 Visual C# practical examples and applications. To grasp the concepts presented in LEARN VISUAL C#, you should possess a working knowledge of Windows and have had some exposure to programming concepts.  Our Beginning Visual C# course would provide you with this exposure.

LEARN VISUAL C# requires the Microsoft Windows operating system.  This tutorial also requires the Community Edition or Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. The Visual C# source code solutions and all needed multimedia files are included in the compressed download file available from the Publisher's website (KidwareSoftware.com) after book registration.
