Starting Out with Visual C# is an ideal introductory Visual C# text for everyone, even if you do not have programming experience. Author Tony Gaddis uses step-by-step instructions that are supported by a GUI-based approach to encourage and motivate you as you learn to create event-driven, Visual C# applications. The hands-on tutorials feature clear, down-to-earth explanations and provide detailed walk-throughs that are easy to follow.
The 6th Edition features new and updated discussions, sections and tutorials aligned to Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and the latest versions of C# and .NET.
