The unique, visual format of Illustrated C# 2008 has been specially created by author, and teacher of development methods, Daniel Solis.
The concise text, use of tables to clarify language features, frequent
figures and diagrams, as well as focused code samples all combine to
create a unique approach that will help you understand and get to work
with C# fast.
It was while teaching numerous seminars on
various programming languages that the author realized the immense
power diagrams have in explaining programming language concepts. Most
people learn quicker and retain information better when the material is
presented in a clean, simple, visual format. To achieve this result in
his book, Solis uses concise text and bulleted lists, tables to clarify
and summarize language features, as well as his renowned, ubiquitous
figures and diagrams. Each language feature is illustrated with a
concise and focused code sample for complete clarity.
