Introduction to Programming Using C#

by Peter Bako

Overview

Learning to program is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have in the world of computers! Instead of just using programs written by others, you can start to write your own programs. Many people realize that the easiest way to learn is by seeing and doing. Introduction to Programming Using C# takes this easy to follow approach, with lots of opportunity to practice, plenty of pictures to verify your work, easy to follow explanations, and plenty of sample code to examine. In no time at all, you can start writing simple programs of your own design, using one of the most vibrant and popular languages of today, C#. To save you time, all of the code presented in the book (both in the chapters and for the challenges), can be downloaded from the BakoBooks.com website!

About the Author

I have been involved in technology in one form or another form an early age, but truly found my passion when first placed in front of a Commodore PET during grade school. Moving up from there I have worked with early Apple products, including the venerable Apple ][e and the original Macintosh computers. After a brief foray into the world of electronics, I returned to the world of software and upon landing at Microsoft started working with PC's. Since that time I have used every version of Windows going back to version 1.0, when it was just a simple shell running on top of DOS.

In those early days everybody had to have some level of programming skills and I have spent many hours staring at BASIC code. During my electronic schools days I was introduced to Pascal but quickly moved past that into the world of C.

With my background in electronics, I have spent the last decade and a half working in IT with a focus on support, networking and servers. However I have never forgotten my software roots and have always found myself creating small apps to make my day to day job easier. This has led me to use a variety of languages, such as C/C++, Visual Basic, SQL, PHP and of course C#. With an interest in teaching, I wanted to try my hand at passing on some of my knowledge so I tried my hand at writing.
