This book is a comprehensive guide to mastering the C# 13 programming language and the .NET 9 SDK, providing a thorough learning experience for both beginners and experienced developers. With 31 detailed chapters, 30 online knowledge quizzes, and access to downloadable project code, this guide is structured to support your journey from basic concepts to advanced programming techniques, all within the Visual Studio Code environment.
We will start by introducing the foundational components of the C# ecosystem, providing an overview of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), the Common Intermediate Language (CIL), and the Virtual Execution System (VES). These initial sections will offer a deeper understanding of the platform’s architecture. Following that, we will provide step-by-step instructions for installing and using the Visual Studio Code environment.
As you advance, you will learn about the foundational principles of the C# language. This will include exploring topics such as variables, constants, operators, flow control, and loops. These basic concepts will then be expanded to cover object-oriented programming (OOP), with an emphasis on inheritance, abstract classes, interfaces, and structures.
Beyond the basics, this book advances into more specialized areas, including string manipulation, working with arrays and collections, handling exceptions, and implementing asynchronous programming techniques. These sections are designed to deepen your understanding and equip you with the skills necessary to build more sophisticated apps.
Whether you are new to programming or seeking to refine your skills, C# 13 Programming Essentials – .NET 9 Edition offers the knowledge and practical guidance you need to succeed in C# development.
