In just 21 days, you will learn how to use the key features of the C# programming language. You will not only learn about the commands, but also how to create programs using them. You will start with learning how to write, compile, and execute programs. You will then quickly begin building your own programs. In the first week you will build a foundation for understanding C# by learning many of the basics of the language. The second week will build upon this foundation by covering the key object-oriented programming concepts. Once you have learned the building blocks of the language, you extend into exploiting some of the existing code available via the .NET framework. This includes learning to create window-based forms and applications as well as how to create Web forms and XML Web services.-Back cover
