Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 Kick Start is a rapid-progression tutorial that presents the C# language to working programmers who are already familiar with another programming language or tool. This book speeds through basic concepts and focuses on practical examples showing the advantages of C# .NET 2003 in ASP programming, application design and creation, and .NET Web Services development. While Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 Kick Start assumes no knowledge of C# or the .NET Framework, it skips the handholding and basic programming instruction associated with entry-level tutorials. Full of code examples, tips, and profession insights, this book is about maximum payoff with minimum effort for the working programmer who wants to use Visual C# .NET 2003 now.
