This book introduces programmers, already familiar with object-oriented programming, to the C# programming language. It reviews basic object-oriented concepts when C# implementations are discussed. The book begins by discussing the nuts and bolts of C# before delving into the area of the .Net libraries of code. It then moves on to show how GUI programs are created, and how to populate them with graphics. Advanced topics such as networking, using C# to interface with databases, and using C# with ASP to produce interactive Web pages, are covered at the end of the book. This book is designed for programmers, experienced with object-oriented concepts, who are transitioning to C# or are interested in learning a new programming language.
Glenn Rowe teaches at the University of Dundee and is the author of several books in the areas of Java, computer graphics and data structures.
Are you familiar with Java or another OO language? Do you now want to develop programs using C#, or learn about the .Net framework? Then this book is for you.
Features
* Comprehensive coverage of C# as a stand-alone language
* The main features of .Net framework are explained, showing how C# can make use of them
* Advanced topics such as graphical interfaces and graphics, databases and XML are discussed
* Uses C# to produce and access interactive web pages
* An adventure game case study shows how to build a substantial program based around the topics covered

I haven't read this book, but I wonder how it compares to other books on C# for Java programmers which frustrated and disappointed me. Sure, by assuming the reader knew Java they could speed through many simple syntax issues. However, the books I read dropped the paradigm of explaining C# in terms of Java as soon as it was really needed.
July 9, 2009 9:35 PMFor example, the concept of events and delegates seemed very weird to me, more so expressions such as "add the delegate to the event." (Add the ambassador to the declaration of war? Add the diplomat to the election?) Maybe this made sense to people who had used earlier RAD languages, but I had not.
All I needed was someone to explain how the concept of an event in terms of an event interface and a default event-object collection class that itself implemented the event interface. A book that would explain the concept of a delegate as the name of an interface containing a single method prototype; delegate construction explained as the implementation of the delegate interface via an anonymous inner class.
That way, I could have used my Java background to understood the new concepts in a deep way instead of merely being told "Write your program like this."
