This book is designed as a “getting started” book for those programmers who want to get into programming using the predominant .NET languages, Visual Basic.NET and C#. In addition, the book enables readers to have a quick start on other salient programming features of the .NET Framework, such as Web services and mobile applications. This book is aimed at readers with programming knowledge of earlier versions of languages, such as Visual Basic and Visual C++. These readers are assumed to be experienced application developers who have knowledge of the earlier versions of Visual Basic. In addition, hands-on experience in Visual C++ is preferred.
This book provides a hands-on approach to learning programming using Visual Basic.NET and C#. The book starts with a few overview chapters that introduce the .NET vision, .NET Framework, and .NET Server family to readers. A major part of the book revolves around professional projects, which are based on real-life situations. These projects follow a simple to complex approach to cover specific subject areas and guide the readers in implementing their learning in practical scenarios. Some of these projects include creating Windows applications using ADO.NET as the data access model, creating Windows applications illustrating the use of XML, creating Web applications using ASP.NET, creating Web services, creating mobile applications, and so on. The highlight of this book is that it guides the readers to create projects using both Visual Basic.NET and C#. |
