For courses in introductory C# programming.
Motivate students with clear, down-to-earth explanations and familiar graphical elements
Starting Out With Visual C# is an ideal introductory Visual C# text for students with no prior programming experience. Students who are new to programming will appreciate the clear, down-to-earth explanations and the detailed walk-throughs that are provided by the hands-on tutorials. Gaddis’s hallmark, step-by-step instructions are supported by a GUI-based approach that motivates students as they learn to create GUI-based, event-driven, Visual C# applications. Topics are examined progressively in each chapter, with objects taught before classes. The 5th Edition adds an abundance of new material and improvements with updates for compatibility with Visual Studio 2017. Two new chapters include Chapter 13: Delegates and Lambda Expressions and Chapter 14: Language-Integrated Query (LINQ).
- Introduction to Computers and Programming
- Introduction to Visual C#
- Processing Data
- Making Decisions
- Loops, Files, and Random Numbers
- Modularizing Your Code with Methods
- Arrays and Lists
- Text Processing
- Structures, Enumerated Types, and Dictionaries
- Introduction to Classes
- Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Interfaces
- Databases
- Delegates, Anonymous Methods, and Lambda Expressions
- Language-Integrated Query (LINQ)
- C# Primitive Data Types
- Additional User Interface Controls
- ASCII/Unicode Characters
- Answers to Checkpoint Questions
- Installing LINQ to SQL Classes in Visual Studio
- Objects are introduced very early in the text to show students how to create objects from classes provided by the .NET Framework.
- Example programs are practical and include short examples that highlight specific programming topics with more involved examples focusing on problem solving.
- Review Questions and Programming Problems appear in each chapter and present a thorough and diverse set of review questions and exercises.
- Concept Statements, Notes, and Checkpoints appear throughout each chapter to reinforce students' understanding of key chapter topics.
- Each Tutorial has an accompanying online VideoNote accessible on the text's companion website.
- NEW and UPDATED: All material is new or updated for compatibility with Visual Studio 2017.
- UPDATED: Chapter 7 Arrays and Lists now covers ImageList control. Since an ImageList is a collection of images, it is fitting that this control be covered in the same chapter as Arrays and Lists.
- EXPANDED: Chapter 8 has been split into 2 chapters, with new material added to both of the resulting chapters. In this edition, Chapter 8 is titled Text Processing and Chapter 9 is titled Structures, Enumerated Types, and Dictionaries.
- NEW: 2 chapters added to this edition: Chapter 13, Delegates and Lambda Expressions and Chapter 14, Language-Integrated Query (LINQ).
