Programming C# 5.0: Building Windows 8, Web, and Desktop Applications for the .NET 4.5 Framework: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Programming C# 5.0: Building Windows 8, Web, and Desktop Applications for the .NET 4.5 Framework" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

After a dozen years of incremental changes, C# has become one of the most versatile programming languages available. With this comprehensive guide, youll learn just how powerful the combination of C# 5.0 and .NET 4.5 can be. Author Ian Griffiths guides you through C# 5.0 fundamentals and teaches you techniques for building web and desktop applications, including Windows 8-style apps.

Completely rewritten for experienced programmers, this book provides many code examples to help you work with the nuts and bolts of C# code, such as generics, dynamic typing, and the new asynchronous programming features. Youll also get up to speed on XAML, ASP.NET, LINQ, and other .NET tools.

  • Discover how C# supports fundamental coding features such as classes, other custom types, collections, and error handling
  • Understand the differences between dynamic and static typing in C#
  • Query and process diverse data sources such as in-memory object models, databases, and XML documents with LINQ
  • Use .NETs multithreading features to exploit your computers parallel processing capabilities
  • Learn how the new asynchronous language features can help improve application responsiveness and scalability
  • Use XAML to create Windows 8-style, phone, and classic desktop applications

I dedicate this book to my excellent wife Deborah, and to my wonderful daughter, Hazel, who arrived while this book was a work in progress.

Preface

C# is now well into its second decade. It has grown steadily in both power and size, but Microsoft has always kept the essential characteristics intactC# still feels like the same language as was first unveiled back in 2000. Each new capability is designed to integrate cleanly with the rest, enhancing the language without turning it into an incoherent bag of miscellaneous features. This philosophy is evident in the most important new addition to C#its support for asynchronous programming. It has always been possible to use asynchronous APIs in C#, but in the past, this tended to involve convoluted code. In C# 5.0, you can write asynchronous code that looks almost exactly like normal code, so instead of adding weight to the language, this new asynchronous programming support makes things simpler.

Even though C# continues to be a fairly straightforward language at its heart, there is a great deal more to say about it now than in its first incarnation. Successive editions of this book have responded to the languages progress with ever-increasing page counts, but this latest edition does not merely try to cram in yet more details. It expects a somewhat higher level of technical ability from its readers than before.

Who This Book Is For

I have written this book for experienced developersIve been programming for years, and Ive set out to make this the book I would want to read if that experience had been in other languages, and I were learning C# today. Whereas previous editions explained some basic concepts such as classes, polymorphism, and collections, I am assuming that readers will already know what these are. The early chapters still describe how C# presents these common ideas, but the focus is on the details specific to C#, rather than the broad concepts. So if you have read previous editions of this book, you will find that this one spends less time on these basic concepts, and goes into rather more detail on everything else.

Chapter 1. Introducing C#

The C# programming language (pronounced see sharp) can be used for many kinds of applications, including websites, desktop applications, games, phone apps, and command-line utilities. C# has been center stage for Windows developers for about a decade now, so when Microsoft announced that Windows 8 would introduce a new[] style of application, optimized for touch-based interaction on tablets, it was no surprise that C# was one of the four languages to offer full support from the start for these applications (the others being C++, JavaScript, and Visual Basic).
