  Book Information

Illustrated C# 2005 doesn't use the traditional dense prose format of most programming texts. Rather, it presents the C# programming language in a unique visual manner. The book uses three techniques to achieve this: concise text; tables that clarify and summarize language features; and frequent figures and diagrams. Each feature is also illustrated with concise, focused code samples.

The book starts with an overview of the .NET platform and the role played by C#, then quickly delves into the language. It covers the entire C# language, including new features added in C# 2.0 as well as the most complex topics. It's an ideal read if you're a migrating C++ or VB programmer who already knows how languages work.

Despite its title--which might give the impression that it's a lightweight treatment of the language--this book is anything but. With its clean visual format, you'll be able to learn the material more quickly and retain it better than you would with a typical C# 2005 book. Even experienced programmers may come away from it with a deeper understanding of the language.
