That's because C# is not only essential for making .NET work, it's a big way for Microsoft to attract millions of Java, C and C++ developers to the platform. And C# has definitely made some inroads. Because of its popularity among developers, the language received standardization from ECMA International, making it possible to port C# applications to other platforms. To bolster its appeal, C# 2.0 has undergone some key changes as part of Visual Studio 2005 that will make development with .NET quicker and easier. That's precisely what <i>Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook</i> allows you to do. There are some great new features in C# and this unique "all lab, no lecture" guide covers them all with 50 hands-on projects. Each project explores a new feature, with emphasis on changes that increase productivity, simplify programming tasks, and add functionality to applications. C#'s component-based design combines the productivity of Microsoft's popular Visual Basic with the raw power of C++ for web-based applications. Many reviewers note a similarity between C# and Java--in fact, a new feature that took the Java development team five years to incorporate into Java is now available in C# 2.0. Called "generics", this feature enables developers to reuse and customize their existing code, so they can dramatically cut down the time it takes to develop new applications. <i>Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook</i> is full of no-nonsense code without the usual page-filling commentary. You'll find suggestions for further experimentation, links to on-line documentation, plus practical notes and warnings. The book also tells developers how to acquire, install and configure Visual Studio 2005. Are you a coder to the core? Learn what C# 2.0 can do for you now. 291049 2005 Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook total:2|3:1|2:1| 2 5 12 1 0 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jan 21 09:51:28 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 09:52:39 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 10:40:46 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 10:40:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 31 14:26:35 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 14:26:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 09:14:01 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:14:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 10:02:57 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 10:02:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 18:14:01 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 18:14:01 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 14 07:20:59 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 07:20:59 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jan 21 09:55:23 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 09:55:28 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Mon Jan 21 00:56:01 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 00:56:01 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 23 19:21:21 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 19:21:21 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Oct 16 17:44:13 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 17:44:13 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Sep 27 10:42:59 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 27 10:42:59 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=299975
