Visual C# 2015, one of the components of Visual Studio 2015, is one of the most powerful, versatile and modern object-oriented programming languages available today. Developed by Microsoft, it combines all the best features available in programming languages.
C# provides a rich repertoire of library/built-in functions that allow programmers to develop all kinds of applications with relative ease - be it Console, Windows/Forms, Web or Mobile Applications.
This book is intended for beginners as well as those with some programming knowledge. It is suitable for those students who are pursuing a course in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Management Information Systems, Engineering and Mathematics. It starts with the basics, and gradually progresses to more advanced topics such as arrays, structures, classes, text files and databases. So whether you are a beginner or intermediate programmer, this book will help you master the essentials of C# very quickly. The book is written in a simple, easy-to-read style and contains numerous examples to illustrate the concepts presented. It also contains exercises at the end of each chapter to test your grasp of the subject matter.
