Preface

Throughout the history of software engineering, the methodology used to write computer programs has undergone several paradigm shifts, each building on the foundation of the former by increasing code organization and decreasing complexity. This book is organized in such a way as to take you through similar paradigm shifts.

The beginning chapters of Essential C# 6.0 take you through sequential programming structure, in which statements are written in the order in which they are executed. The problem with this model is that complexity increases exponentially as the requirements increase. To reduce this complexity, code blocks may be moved into methods, creating a structured programming model. This allows you to call the same code block ...
