Do you want to learn C#? Programmers around the world have learned that C# lets them design great-looking programs and build them fast. With C#, you ve got a powerful programming language and a valuable tool at your fingertips. And with the Visual Studio IDE, you ll never have to spend hours writing obscure code just to get a button working. C#, Visual Studio and .NET take care of the grunt-work, and let you focus on the interesting parts of getting your programs written. Sound appealing? Unlike other C# books, which just show you examples and expect you to just memorize them and move on, Head First C# gets you writing code from the beginning. You're given the tools you need, and then you're guided through fun and engaging programming projects. You'll build programs to play a card game, explore a house, and help lazy programmers manage their sick day excuses. But it's not all fun and games: you'll build business applications too, like a contact database and a program to help a party planner estimate her dinner parties. You'll build a dungeon role-playing game and a fully animated, colorful simulation of a beehive. And by the end of the book, you'll build a fast-paced, full-featured retro Invaders arcade game. Make no mistake: by the time you're done with Head First C#, you'll be able to build full-scale, complex, and highly visual programs. And you'll have all of the C# tools you need to tackle almost any programming problem that comes your way. Head First C# is built for your brain, using the revolutionary approach that was pioneered by the highly acclaimed and popular Head First series. You'll never get that bored, "eyes glazed over" feeling from Head First C#, because it guides you through one challenging project after another until, by the end of the book, you're a C# rock star! Here's what you'll learn: * Core C# programming concepts * How to use the Visual Studio 2008 IDE to build, debug and run your programs * Important .NET 3.5 features, including generic collections, Windows forms, GDI+ graphics, streams, serialization and more * Using object oriented programming concepts to help you build well-designed programs * How to build robust applications with good error handling * The latest C# 3.0 features, including LINQ, object and collection initializers, automatic properties, extension methods and more Throughout the book, you'll confront and conquer advanced C# concepts. Some of the most mysterious ideas are demystified and explained with clear examples: how Unicode works, events and delegates, references versus value types, the stack versus the heap, what's really going on with garbage collection, and more. Thousands of readers have learned C# using this innovative book, including: * Beginning programmers who want to learn programming from the ground up * More advanced programmers who are proficient in another language (like Visual Basic, Java, SQL, FoxPro) and want to add C# to their toolbox * Programmers who understand basic C# syntax, but are still looking to get a handle on how objects work * Anyone who's tried to learn C#, but had to deal with books full of dull examples and nothing but boring console applications * Lots of people who just want to learn how to build cool games! Head First C# is built to work with any version of Visual Studio 2008, including the free express edition. (It can also can be used with any version of Visual Studio 2005.) ************************************************************** This file is in .pdf format.

16 Leechers already in just an hour time? Some bots just searching for the newest torrents or is this so popular? :S

massdale, thank you so much for this!
I wanted to learn C but wasn't sure which one. Either this or C++. I made up my mind once I saw how C# was similar to JAVA (which I initially learned) so I jump onto C#.

Hey pintacle no problem...
I'm using this book for my study, some guys at school talked about the C# being similar to JAVA but easier... I personally don't know, but it's nice to know someone is happy wuth my up...

It's a very good book. I haven't done any PC-centric programming since Visual Basic 4 through 6...i've since been doing web development. However, you can use any of the .NET languages (C#, for example) in Microsoft Sharepoint, so i decided to get this and brush up on it. Unfortunately, i shipped it across the ocean the other day, but wanted to go look something up to study while on my plane trip ;p
Thanks for the up, i'll seed as long as i can.

UDP will only work with newer versions of utorrent (2.0 beta, 2.1 alpha) if i remember correctly.

Ah nice i've been looking for this. Need it for school and i really don't want to carry that huge ass book with me every day..
download speed is horrible though

It's a very good book for beginners, however if you have general programming experience, you might look for another book. Also do note that the book's programming examples have about a dozen or so typos, so no matter how much you bang your head to the wall, the program will not work if done 100% like in the book. Google for solutions.
