Visual C# 2012 How to Program, 5th Edition

About

Features

Signature “Live Code™ Approach” — Language features are presented in the context of a wide variety of complete working programs.

• Features thousands of lines of code in hundreds of complete working programs.
• A broad range of example programs selected from computer science, business, simulation, game playing, graphics, multimedia and many other areas.
• Enables students to confirm that programs run as expected.
• Students can also download the code from the book's Companion Website www.pearsonhighered.com/deitel or from the authors’ website www.deitel.com.

Object-Oriented Programming

• Outstanding, consistent, and applied pedagogy. Icons throughout identify Software Engineering Observations; Good Programming Practices; Common Programming Errors; Portability Tips; Performance Tips; Testing and Debugging Tips; and Look-and-Feel Observations.
• Early-objects approach. The book introduces the basic concepts and terminology of object technology in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, Dive Into Visual C# 2012 Express, you’ll visually manipulate objects, such as labels and images. In Chapter 3, Introduction to C# Apps, you’ll write Visual C# program code that manipulates preexisting objects. You’ll develop your first customized classes and objects in Chapter 4. Presenting objects and classes early gets you “thinking about objects” immediately and mastering these concepts more thoroughly.
• Rich coverage of programming fundamentals. Chapters 5 and 6 present a friendly treatment of control statements and problem solving.
• A clear, example-driven presentation of classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism and interfaces.
• Optional case study: Using the UML to develop an object-oriented design and Visual C# implementation of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). The UML™ (Unified Modeling Language™) is the industry-standard graphical language for modeling object-oriented systems. We introduce the UML in the early chapters. Online Chapters 34 and 35 include an optional case study on object-oriented design using the UML. We design and implement the software for a simple automated teller machine. We analyze a typical requirements document that specifies the system to be built. We determine the classes needed to implement that system, the attributes the classes need to have, the behaviors the classes need to exhibit and we specify how the classes must interact with one another to meet the system requirements. From the design we produce a complete working Visual C# implementation. Students often report a “light bulb moment”–the case study helps them “tie it all together” and truly understand object orientation.
• Three programming paradigms. We discuss structured programming, object-oriented programming and generic programming.

Interesting, Entertaining and Challenging Exercises

• Extensive self-review exercises and answers are included for self-study.
• Each chapter concludes with a substantial set of exercises, including simple recall of important terminology and concepts, identifying the errors in code samples, writing individual program statements, writing small portions of Visual C# classes, writing complete programs and implementing major projects. The Making a Difference exercises set, encourage you to use computers and the Internet to research and solve significant social problems–we hope you’ll approach these exercis

Description

Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual C# 2012 programming.

Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual C# 2012 How to Program, Fifth Edition introduces all facets of the C# 2012 language hands-on, through hundreds of working programs. This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual C# 2012; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual C# language specification.

Students begin by getting comfortable with the C# Express 2012 IDE and basic Visual C# syntax. Next, they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated techniques, including searching, sorting, data structures, generics, and collections. Throughout, the authors show students how to make the most of Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools. A series of appendices provide essential programming reference material.
