| Mastering the development of Microsoft .NET Framework applications in C# is less about knowing
the C# language and more about knowing how to use the functionality of the .NET Framework
class library most effectively. Visual C# 2005 Recipes explores the breadth of the .NET Framework class
library and provides specific solutions to common and interesting programming problems. Each
solution (or recipe) is presented in a succinct problem/solution format and most are accompanied
by working code samples.
Visual C# 2005 Recipes is not intended to teach you how to program, nor to teach you C#.
However, if you have even the most rudimentary experience programming applications built on
the .NET Framework using C#, you will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
Ideally, when you are facing a problem, this book will contain a recipe that provides the solution,
or at least it will point you in the right direction. Even if you just want to broaden your knowledge of
the .NET Framework class library, Visual C# 2005 Recipes is the perfect resource to assist you.
However, you cannot become proficient with C# and the classes in the .NET Framework class
library merely by reading about them. Rather, you must use them and experiment with them by
writing code, code, and more code. The structure and content of this book and the real-world applicability
of the solutions it provides offer the perfect starting point from which to kick-start your own
experimentation. |
