Preface

C# and the .NET Framework support a new, integrated, powerful Internet programming model. We no longer need to use Visual Basic for rapid application development and forms, C++ for object-oriented applications, and ASP for the Web. We can use C# for all, and with the .NET Framework we have a platform with a huge library that can integrate applications across the Internet.

This text teaches C# from the beginning, but includes enough material for a two-term course covering more advanced topics. It teaches the concepts of computing necessary for a CS-1 course, but allows those with prior experience programming in another language to proceed quickly over the earlier chapters to learn the exciting C# language and the .NET Framework in depth. ...
