C# The Basics--BPB

This book presupposes no prior programming knowledge on the part of the readers. We start from the very elementary basics of C#, guiding the reader program by program, each one presenting one feature or a cluster of related features of the language. Each succeeding program builds upon the previous one. The general pattern followed is: · Explanation - what does the program do · Minimal syntax - a plain vanilla rendition of the command employed · Simple examples - to fully understand the concept The entire spectrum from the most basic vocabulary and the functions of C# to more complex concepts such as modifiers and pointers, the very heart and soul of any programming language are discussed in a systematic step by step manner.
