Head First C#: A Learner's Guide to Real-World Programming with Visual C# and .NET by Andrew Stellman

Description

What will you learn from this book? Dive into C# and create user interfaces, databases, and more using this fun and highly visual introduction to C#, .NET Core, and Visual Studio. With this completely updated guide, which covers C# 8.0 and Visual Studio 2019, beginning programmers like you will build a fully functional game in the opening chapter. Then you'll learn how to use classes and object-oriented programming, draw graphics and animation, and query data with LINQ. And you'll do it all show more by solving puzzles, doing hands-on exercises, and building real-world applications. By the time you're done, you'll be a solid C# programmer--and you'll have a great time along the way! Why does this book look so different? Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, Head First C# uses a visually rich format to engage your mind rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multisensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works. show less
