New Releases from O'Reilly
Programming C# 4.0
By Ian Griffiths, Matthew Adams, Jesse Liberty
This bestselling tutorial shows you how to build web, desktop, and rich Internet applications using C# 4.0 with .NET's database capabilities, UI framework (WPF), extensive communication services (WCF), and more. The sixth edition covers the latest enhancements to C#, as well as the fundamentals of both the language and framework. You'll learn concurrent programming with C# 4.0, and how to use .NET tools such as the Entity Framework for easier data access, and the Silverlight platform for browser-based RIA development.
"C# has evolved considerably, which means that the way to get the best from the language has also changed," says author Ian Griffiths. "Our goal is to furnish readers with a deep understanding of the language, not only in the traditional worlds of web server development and desktop software, but also in new areas such as client-side web development and mobile software. They will know what C# can do and, perhaps more importantly, why."
