Description

For courses on C# programming found in departments of Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering and Continuing Education.

An exciting addition to the How to Program series, C# How to Program provides a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft's new object-oriented language. C# builds on the skills already mastered by countless C++ and Java programmers, enabling them to create powerful Web applications and components-ranging from XML-based Web services on Microsoft's .NET™ platform to middle-tier business objects and system-level applications. C# How to Program gives students the strong foundation in introductory and intermediate programming principles they'll need in industry. Mastering C# will allow them to create complex systems-using fewer lines of code and reducing the chance for error. The end result is faster development at a decreased cost-and optimum adaptability that makes it easy to keep up with the evolving Web.


Features

  • Signature “Live-Code™ Approach”—Language features are presented in the context of a wide variety of complete working programs. Features thousands of lines of code in hundreds of complete working programs.

    • Enables students to confirm that programs run as expected. Students can also manipulate the code from the CD-ROM in the back of the book, from the book's Companion Website (www.prenhall.com/deitel), or from the authors' Website (www.deitel.com).

  • Outstanding, consistent and applied pedagogy—Icons throughout identify Software Engineering Observations; Good Programming Practices; Common Programming Errors; Portability Tips; Performance Tips, Testing and Debugging Tips, and Look-and-Feel Observations.

    • Provides hundreds of valuable programming tips and facilitates learning.

  • Extensive set of interesting exercises and substantial projects.

    • Students can apply what they've learned in each chapter.

  • Four-way syntax coloring with the use of two colors and shading.

    • Helps students better understand the book's hundreds of programs.

  • Also available with the Multimedia Cyber Classroom —In The Complete C# Training Course, Student Edition (CD-ROM version: 0-13-064586-9; Web-based version: 0-13-064762-4).

    • Provides extra hands-on experience and study aids for a minimal additional cost. Includes many hours of detailed, expert audio walkthroughs of the book's hundreds of live-code examples; post-assessment exams with hundreds of short-answer questions (all with answers); hundreds of self-review exercises drawn from the text (all with answers); hundreds of programming exercises from the main text (these exercises don't have answers in the main text, but half of these exercises have answers in The Complete Training Course); hundreds of tips that are marked with icons and show how to write C# code that's portable, reusable, and optimized for performance; and full-text searching and hyperlinking.

Each How to Program text can be ordered as a Complete Training Course package, containing the main text and the corresponding Cyber Classroom—an interactive, multimedia, tutorial version of the book. The Complete Training Courses are a great value, giving students extra hands-on experience and study aids for a minimal additional cost.

Each Complete Training Course is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000 and includes the following features:

  • The full text, illustrations and program listings of its corresponding How to Program book with full-text searching and hyperlinking.
  • Hours of detailed, expert audio descriptions of thousands of lines of code that help to reinforce concepts.
  • An abundance of self-assessment material:

    • Practice exams that offer students hundreds of short-answer test questions and answers.

    • Hundreds of self-review questions that are drawn from the text, all with answers.

    • Hundreds of programming exercises that are drawn from the text, half with answers (the main text does not provide any answers to these exercises).

  • Intuitive browser-based interface, designed to be easy and accessible for anyone who's ever used a Web browser.

We offer the Complete Training Courses in either a CD-ROM or a Web-based format. When professors order the Web-based version of a Complete Training Course, their students receive the corresponding How to Program book packaged with a URL and password that gives them six months of access to the Cyber Classroom software via the Web.

If your customer has already received C# How to Program, please sample only the C# Multimedia Cyber Classroom CD-ROM (0-13-064587-7) to show them the advantages they would get with The Complete Training Course. Please do not sample The Complete Training Course as they will receive a duplicate copy of the main text.
