Programming in C# (Paperback) | Released: 24 Feb 2019

C# is a primarily object-oriented, and type-safe programming language. C# has its roots in the C family of languages and is familiar to C, C++, and Java programming languages.Although C# is primarily an object-oriented language, it further includes support for component-oriented programming. Nowadays software design increasingly relies on software components in the form of self-contained and self-describing packages of functionality. Key to such components is that they present a programming model with properties, methods, and events; they have attributes that provide declarative information about the component; and they incorporate their own documentation. C# provides language constructs to directly support these concepts, making C# a very natural language in which to create and use software components, and this book is part of the series will gracefully teach a reader programming in C# from the basics through to complex concepts.There are Many Books on C#, already... What was Missing? Many books teach concentrate in teaching you how to drive the steering wheel without spending time teaching you how to change the gears. There are so many software developers in the industry today who have been victim of that, and you can tell by how they lack in confidence, almost always relying on the likes of Stack-Overflow, which is not bad on its own but contributes on not having an identity as a developer if done at addiction levels that can be noticed in many.Finally Understand Programming, Don't Memorize ItThis is one of the core values that we try to stick to in introducing the language to first time learners, and it's not hard to see that it can be of help for anyone who is failing to find their confidence and footing as a programmer, feeling good about their programming skills at one moment, and feeling awful a couple of weeks later or a couple of problems later, like they know nothing.This book series attempts to cure the 'impostor syndrome' always knocking on software developers' doors.Progressive over Baseline Teaching MethodsMost books on the shelf today take an approach where they offer low-level details in a linear, seemingly logical sequence. This book and series focus on the bigger picture - the Eureka! (I have found it! - Archimedes) moment - and then the specifics.We start with a 10,000 feet aerial view that allows a reader to see forests first not trees, which will become more prominent as we hover down as an analogy to this picture analogy where everything is first fuzzy, but has fairly a full picture, and then becomes clearer and more focused as you go through the book and series.The results of this approach are quite phenomenal, you will agree after going through the series, and can assure you that you will be super-effective in whatever roles assigned related to programming in C#.Learning should not be about memorizing facts to pass an exam. It should be about unlocking the joy of discovery when a concept finally makes sense. If this approach resonates with you, welcome aboard to our book series!We deliberately try to keep every book within in and around 100 pages, to encourage readers to FINISH reading a book, and once a book is finished it becomes psychologically easier to finish subsequent publications as well. Our experience with large books that have hundreds of pages, even thousands of pages is that 99% of the readers do not finish reading, and if they do, they skip through a lot of important content, and that defeats the whole purpose of reading the book.We learnt one thing that fatigue does not come from working or reading too much, but from not FINISHING your work, and the hanging on of an unfinished task, so if you finish this book, it will be easier to go on to the next...Universities and Colleges will find this book series, useful to teach practical programming from, taking into consideration practical industry perspectives targeted at an African reader.
