The MCSD 70-483 exam is an entry-level Microsoft certification exam for C# developers that is widely used to measure their expertise in the field of C# programming. This book is a certification guide to prepare you for the skills that are evaluated in the certification exam and also promotes building problem-solving acumen with C#. Every chapter in the book has been designed as preparation material for the Microsoft MCSD 70-483 exam.

For those who don't have much experience of working in C#, we have added some chapters at the start of the book that will provide basic knowledge about C# programming. This knowledge will not only help you to pass the certification but will also help you to become a better C# developer.

The book is designed for both experienced developers and people new to C# who are intending to undertake the 70-483 Programming in C# certification exam in the near future. The book provides extensive knowledge of all the topics that are evaluated in the exam. To drive better understanding, each chapter in the book is accompanied by code examples along with assessment questions.

To make the path of learning C# easier for beginners, we have also tried to address the basics of C# and .NET Framework in the first three chapters of the book. To get the most value out of the book, you are expected to have a fair understanding of any programming language; for example, C, C++, or C#.
