In the three years since Microsoft made C# available, there have beenlots of tweaks to the language. That's because C# is not only essentialfor making .NET work, it's a big way for Microsoft to attract millionsof Java, C and C++ developers to the platform. And C# has definitelymade some inroads. Because of its popularity among developers, thelanguage received standardization from ECMA International, making itpossible to port C# applications to other platforms. To bolster itsappeal, C# 2.0 has undergone some key changes as part of Visual Studio2005 that will make development with .NET quicker and easier. That'sprecisely what Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook allows you to do.There are some great new features in C# and this unique "all lab, nolecture" guide covers them all with 50 hands-on projects. Each projectexplores a new feature, with emphasis on changes that increaseproductivity, simplify programming tasks, and add functionality toapplications. C#'s component-based design combines the productivity ofMicrosoft's popular Visual Basic with the raw power of C++ forweb-based applications. Many reviewers note a similarity between C# andJava--in fact, a new feature that took the Java development team fiveyears to incorporate into Java is now available in C# 2.0. Called"generics", this feature enables developers to reuse and customizetheir existing code, so they can dramatically cut down the time ittakes to develop new applications. Visual C# 2005: A Developer'sNotebook is full of no-nonsense code without the usual page-fillingcommentary. You'll find suggestions for further experimentation, linksto on-line documentation, plus practical notes and warnings. The bookalso tells developers how to acquire, install and configure VisualStudio 2005. Are you a coder to the core? Learn what C# 2.0 can do foryou now.
