This book introduces programmers, already familiar with object-oriented programming, to the C# programming language. It reviews basic object-oriented concepts when C# implementations are discussed. The book begins by discussing the nuts and bolts of C# before delving into the area of the .Net libraries of code. It then moves on to show how GUI programs are created, and how to populate them with graphics. Advanced topics such as networking, using C# to interface with databases, and using C# with ASP to produce interactive Web pages, are covered at the end of the book. This book is designed for programmers, experienced with object-oriented concepts, who are transitioning to C# or are interested in learning a new programming language.
