❝ Oh my, I love the exercises in this book. You captured that fun spirit of coding in your examples and problem sets. This book’s treatment of LINQ and PLINQ is excellent—I liked how it led naturally to functional programming idioms—skills that will serve students best for their future. Also, it was great to see performance testing on multicore systems.~—Lucian Wischik, C# Language Design Team, Microsoft

❝ Excellent introduction to the world of .NET for the beginning C# programming student, using the Deitels’ live-code approach and real-world examples.~—Bonnie Berent, Microsoft C# MVP

❝ Illustrates the best practices of C# programming. Teaches how to ‘program in the large,’ with material on object-oriented programming and software engineering principles.~—Mingsheng Hong, Cornell University

❝ Takes you from zero to the highest levels of C# programming proficiency, preparing you to tackle the most frequent requirements in modern software development. The code examples really shine. The best presentation of inheritance, interfaces and polymorphism I’ve seen in my 30+ years as a trainer and consultant. I like the gentle early introduction to LINQ and the .NET collection classes, and the coverage of LINQ to Entities for working with relational databases. An excellent presentation of web services and programming for the cloud. Shows the techniques needed to develop real-world apps, including key topics, such as async and await.~—Octavio Hernandez, Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD), Principal Software Engineer at Advanced Bionics

❝ The early introduction to classes and objects is brilliant.~—José Antonio González Seco, Parliament of Andalusia, Spain❝ The text is adaptable for those who want to focus on GUI apps out of the gate. You’ve convinced me that I must introduce my students to

the simple convenience and power of LINQ.~—Stephen Hustedde, South Mountain College❝ The ultimate book on programming with Microsoft technologies.~—Kirill Osenkov, Visual Studio Languages Team, Microsoft
