C# 2008 Fundamentals I and II show you everything you need to know to start building robust, powerful software with C# and .NET. This collection provides $2,000 (USD) worth of expert C# training!

 

Your instructor, Paul Deitel, has taught C#, C++, and Java at organizations ranging from IBM to Sun Microsystems to NASA. With the powerful videos included in this LiveLesson, you’ll learn at your own pace as Paul guides you through C# fundamentals, object-oriented programming, and event-driven programming.

 

The Deitel signature “live-code” approach shows you the correct ways to use C#, right from the start. And you’ll learn in the best possible way: through complete, working programs containing thousands of lines of fully tested C# 3.0 program code. After mastering the basics–classes, objects, methods, and much more–you’ll move on to master professional-quality techniques, from inheritance and polymorphism to exception handling and user interface development.

4.0 out of 5 stars quick tour of C# basics; but also get a text on C#, December 23, 2008

This review is from: C# 2008 Fundamentals I and II LiveLessons (Video Training) (Paperback)
Look, the blurb at the back of the package says that this collection gives $US2000 of expert C# training. This is hyperbole, inflicted upon us by some overenthusiastic copywriter. What that refers to is how much you might have to pay for personal tutoring, presumably by Deitel or some other C# expert.

But if we leave this aside, then the videos can indeed be useful. As I've said for another set of video lessons, PHP and MySQL (Video Training), this is for those people who need (or seem to need) human tutoring to learn a subject. As distinct from getting it off a book or website. In practical terms, the 17 hours on the DVDs have Deitel focusing on the basics of C#. The DVDs are not an exhaustive description of the language, but they don't need to be. If you can assimilate most of the videos, then you have a working knowledge of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars C# 2008 Fundamentals I and II (Video Training), May 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: C# 2008 Fundamentals I and II LiveLessons (Video Training) (Paperback)
P.J. Deitel does an excellent job on this video I recomend this to even advance programmers. He goes over the fundamentals of good programming and that is lacking in todays world. While many of us say yes we do everything right our leaders want us to go faster write more code just do more and do it faster with less. So if you are brand new to developemnt and SDLC or if you have been at if for a while and if you want to relearn use this along with one of P.J. Deitel's programming books.

This was above what i was expecting. Deitel is a very good narrator, gives you the point that you need and know useless information, great examples that gets you understand perfectly what he is talking about. The coding that he shows just perfect and pro, you wont regret this buy in any way, pro's and beginners. Best articles that won this review is Inheritance and Polymorphism. Great Job LiveLessons!!!
