C# 2012 for Programmers, 5th Edition

The professional programmer’s Deitel® guide to  C# 2012 and object-oriented development for  Windows® 7 and Windows® 8

Written for programmers with a background in high-level language programming, this book applies the Deitel signature live-code approach to teaching programming and explores Microsoft’s C# 2012 and .NET 4.5 in depth. The book presents the concepts in the context of fully tested apps, complete with syntax shading,  code highlighting, code walkthroughs and program outputs. You’ll work through 200+ complete C# apps with 15,000+ lines of proven C# code and hundreds of savvy software-development tips.

Start with an introduction to C# using an early classes and objects approach, then rapidly move on to more advanced topics, including LINQ, asynchronous programming with async and await,  Windows® 8 UI and WPF graphics and multimedia, web services, Windows® Phone 8, Windows Azure™ and more. You’ll enjoy the treatment of object-oriented programming and an OOD/UML® ATM case study, including a complete C# implementation. When you’re finished, you’ll have everything you need to build industrial-strength, object-oriented C# apps.
