Who This Book Is For This book will appeal to anyone who is interested in learning how to program in C#. Previous programming experience will help you get through the initial sections with ease, although, it's not mandatory to possess any experience at all. What You Will Learn Learn C#, Visual Studio, and object-oriented programming Learn all the core C# 7 language syntax with hands-on working examples Learn everything from basic variable assignments to complex multidimensional arrays Go through practical examples of all the core C# 7 language features so that you can easily master them yourself Use the C# programming language to work with code and data, which can be applied to other programming languages as well In Detail Beginning C# 7 Hands-On - The Core Language teaches you core C# language and syntax in a working Visual Studio environment. This book covers everything from core language through to more advanced features such as object-oriented programming techniques. This book is for C# 7 beginners who need a practical reference to core C# language features. You'll also gain a view of C# 7 through web programming with web forms, so you'll learn HTML, basic CSS, and how to use a variety of controls, such as buttons and drop-down lists. You'll start with the fundamentals of C# and Visual Studio, including defining variables, interacting with users, and understanding data types, data conversions, and constants. You'll move on to checking conditions using if/else blocks, and see how to use loops to do things such as repeat blocks of code. After covering various operators to evaluate and assign control structures, you'll see how to use arrays to store collections of data. By the time you've finished the book, you'll know how to program the vital elements of the core C# language. These are the building blocks that you can then combine to build complex C# programs.
