This book presents the C# language in a uniquely succinct and visual format. Often in
programming books the information can be hidden in a vast sea of words. As a programmer who
has over the years used a dozen programming languages the author understands it can sometimes
be difficult to slog through another 1 000-page book of dense text to learn a new language.
There are likely many other programmers who feel the same way. To address this situation this
book explains C# using figures short focused code samples and clear concise explanations.
Figures are of prime importance in this book. While teaching programming seminars Daniel Solis
found that he could almost watch the lightbulbs going on over the students' heads as he drew
the figures on the whiteboard. In this text he has distilled each important concept into
simple but accurate illustrations. The visual presentation of the content will give you
anunderstanding of C# that's not possible with text alone. For something as intricate and
precise as a programming language however there must be text as well as figures. But rather
than long wordy explanations Solis has used short concise descriptions and bulleted lists to
make each important piece of information visually distinct. By the end of this book you'll
have a thorough working knowledge of all aspects of the C# language whether you're a novice
programmer or a seasoned veteran of other languages. If you want a long leisurely verbose
explanation of the language this is not the book for you. But if you want a concise thorough
visual presentation of C# this is just what you're looking for.
