Visual C# Step by Step (8th Edition)

This is the Chinese translation of the 8th edition of Microsoft Press's classic Step by Step tutorial Microsoft Visual C# Step by Step. Centered on the language fundamentals and new features of Visual C# 2015, it explains how to write C# applications with Visual Studio 2015 and .NET Framework 4.6. The book has 27 chapters in four parts. Part I introduces the Visual Studio 2015 environment, the first C# program, variables and operators, methods and scope, decision and loop statements, and error and exception management. Part II covers the C# object model: classes and objects, values and references, enums and structs, arrays, parameter arrays, inheritance, interfaces and abstract classes, and garbage collection and resource management. Part III moves on to extensible types: properties, indexers, generics, collections, enumerating collections, separating application logic with events, LINQ query expressions, and operator overloading. Part IV uses Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps as the vehicle to explain tasks and asynchronous programming, implementing the UWP user interface, displaying and searching data, and accessing a remote SQL Server database through a web service. The book emphasizes hands-on practice, with exercises and a Quick Reference in every chapter; all exercises were performed on the Simplified Chinese edition of Visual Studio 2015. It suits complete beginners learning step by step as well as developers with a C, C++, or Java background who want to move quickly to C#.
