Description

The C# programming language is often developers’ primary choice for creating a wide range of applications for desktop, cloud, and mobile. In nearly two decades of its existence, C# has evolved from a general-purpose, object-oriented language to a multi-paradigm language with impressive features. This book will take you through C# from the ground up in a step-by-step manner. You'll start with the building blocks of C#, which include basic data types, variables, strings, arrays, operators, control statements, and loops. Once comfortable with the basics, you'll then progress to learning object-oriented programming concepts such as classes and structures, objects, interfaces, and abstraction. Generics, functional programming, dynamic, and asynchronous programming are covered in detail. This book also takes you through regular expressions, reflection, memory management, pattern matching, exceptions, and many other advanced topics. As you advance, you'll explore the .NET Core 3 framework and learn how to use the dotnet command-line interface (CLI), consume NuGet packages, develop for Linux, and migrate apps built with .NET Framework. Finally, you'll understand how to run unit tests with the Microsoft unit testing frameworks available in Visual Studio. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with the essentials of the C# language and be ready to start creating apps with it.

Honestly I despise Packt due to bad experiences in the past. But this book is an exception.I come from the Java world and was looking to get started on the .NET platform to build micro-services in C# for a project requirement. After trying a couple of books on the topic from O'Reilly and disappointed picked this one half-heatedly.This book blew the rest out of the water easily. Concepts that the other books struggle to explain or not explained well enough are dealt with in a lucid and clear manner. The authors communicate more with less words. The breadth and depth of coverage is also good and, most importantly, is free from fluff. Highly recommended!Would never judge a book by its cover, ever!

I bought this book for my grandson who is learning Unity game development. (Unity uses C# as the code base.) The book arrived quickly, in perfect shape, and will be a great asset / resource as we start off his developer's library with it. A good purchase all the way around!

I was in need of learning the basics and some intermediate topics of C# and so far this book hasn't dissapointed. After looking through some underwhelming reviews of similar books I stumbled across this one and though it was worth a go. So far I haven't been dissapointed. The book is well written and doesn't waste much time before getting into the learning content (there's a chapter on the history of the language). Overall this is a great read for anyone starting to learn C# and I can myself reffering to this book for a long while.
