Beginning C# Object-Oriented Programming (Paperback, 1st ed.)

Beginning C# Object-Oriented Programming brings you into the modern world of development as you master the fundamentals of programming with C# and learn to develop efficient, reusable, elegant code through the object-oriented programming (OOP) methodology. Take your skills out of the 20th century and into this one with Dan Clark 's accessible, quick-paced guide to C# and object-oriented programming, completely updated for .NET 4.0 and C# 4.0. As you develop techniques and best practices for coding in C#, one of the world's most popular contemporary languages, you'll experience modeling a real world application through a case study, allowing you to see how both C# and OOP (a methodology you can use with any number of languages) come together to make your code reusable, modern, and efficient. What you'll learn Learn to use the Universal Modeling Language (UML)to quickly design an application correctly from the first time Understand object-oriented programming principles and how they benefit your work in today's dual Web- and Windows-based world Integrate OOP fundamentals when developing code in C# Discover the .NET Framework and how it can help you create applications quickly and efficiently Walk along as the author develops a complete Windows- and Web-based application using the techniques and best practices covered inside Who this book is for

If you're a beginning C# programmer who wants to gain a foundation in object-oriented programming along with the C# language basics, this book is for you. Programmers transitioning from a procedure-oriented programming model to an object-oriented model will also find many practical suggestions and walkthroughs inside. In particular, Visual Basic developers who want to transition to C# programming, but lack a firm grasp of object-oriented programming principles, will find this book an excellent starting point for their journey into C#.
