Description

C# is a powerful, versatile language that can unlock a variety of career paths. But, as with any programming language, learning C# can be a challenging process. With a wide range of different resources available, it’s difficult to know where to start. That's where The C# Workshop comes in. Written and reviewed by industry experts, it provides a fast-paced, supportive learning experience that will quickly get you writing C# code and building applications. Unlike other software development books that focus on dry, technical explanations of the underlying theory, this Workshop cuts through the noise and uses engaging examples to help you understand how each concept is applied in the real world. As you work through the book, you'll tackle realistic exercises that simulate the type of problems that software developers work on every day. These mini-projects include building a random-number guessing game, using the publisher-subscriber model to design a web file downloader, creating a to-do list using Razor Pages, generating images from the Fibonacci sequence using async/await tasks, and developing a temperature unit conversion app which you will then deploy to a production server. By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to advance your career and tackle your own ambitious projects with C#.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

First of all, I never write reviews. A product has to be pretty outstanding for me to take my time to write something, and for me to take up your time.I am a full-time student studying Computer Scince. I also work full time as a CRM Engineer. I have read this book and I am happy to say that it is really well done, but most importantly, it was a huge help to me in terms of my understanding of C# code!It is simply written but that is what is so great about it. The author goes through everything that my professors at university go through but in simpler terms. The author covers the basics thoroughly, and in roughly the same order as we are learning at school, as he mirrors everything that all of our professors/instructors/lab assistants are saying so it’s been good to read the information again, only differently.We all know there are thousands of books out there and not all of them are helpful, and in fact, make things worse by confusing the reader. This book reads like normal speech whereas most books on programming are like reading Greek, or some strange alien language. I often think to myself, "as if learning to code isn't confusing enough, and now I am going to read this textbook the size of New York and then be even more confused..." - well this book is not like that at all. It is thoughtfully written and the author has done a wonderful job of writing as if it is a conversation between two friends. So far, it’s been extremely helpful in sorting out some of my coding confusion, and I am always happy to share effective tools with others

The C# Workshop is a great introduction to C# along with covering more intermediate and advanced topics. It gives you everything you need to get you started quickly with clear instructions on how to get everything set up and the exercises are easy to follow and can get instant results. Concepts are introduced at a good pace with well thought out examples with great attention to detail including pointing out expected differences in output depending on the reader’s location or language as well as considering the differences when creating new projects.The C# Workshop also helps break down the concepts of building object-oriented code with clear explanations about each concept with snippets that help explain them well with each exercise making it easier to understand as you progress through the concepts. More advanced concepts are handled well with explanations building on previous concepts to help advance through the topics being discussed from long held features to the latest functionality in C#.The C# Workshop will take you through beginner, intermediate and advanced topics but with a good foundation at each step it never seems like there’s too big a leap and exercises, examples and explanations at each stage help make sure you don’t get lost or confused along the way and help understand fundamental concepts along with creating modern applications, using a variety of features from PostgreSQL and Entity Framework to Web Applications with Razor and ASP.NET and get something working that you can learn from each step of the way.The C# Workshop is a great way to not only get your first taste of C# but to help advance learning the language with more intermediate and advanced topics, with exercises and examples to help understand throughout the book that even existing C# developers will find useful to add to their existing knowledge or just help make more sense of the functionality and features they use. I’d certainly recommend this book to anyone who wants to kickstart learning or to add to any knowledge for C#!

Starting from the basics, but also importantly covers how to write quality code using OOO principles. Real world examples are useful and make it more approachable. It would have been nice to include Blazor as well as razor, but it covers the core aspects of C# well and in a clear manner.Overall a great resource and I would recommend to anyone starting out in C# programming.

Picked this book up to start my learning journey with C# and was very happy with it! This is the book you want if you're new to C#! I think the first chapters do a very good job in ramping someone new to C# up by slowly going over small and simple to understand examples. This is a trend that is followed in the book up to the very end even with some of the more advanced concepts -- Start with a small example of a concept and slowly build on it by adding more in-depth, more difficult concepts.Even being experienced with something like OOP I found nuggets of information useful in that chapter that made me wanna read the entire chapter without skipping any parts. I found the entire book so engaging I was never bored enough to be tempted to skip any parts. Each chapter does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.Data structures and LINQ are thoroughly explained in depth in an easy to understand way. The best explanation of LINQ is found within this book. Provided with powerful LINQ examples that will make your life writing C# much easier! More small simple to understand examples that are slowly built on makes learning and putting these idea into practice for someone new or experienced is a walk in the park.Often I find myself needing to re-reading chapters from tech books to better understand the topic at hand using my first pass on the chapter as a base foundation to build my understanding on. I don't think I did this once in the entire book! It is that well explained while being engaging if you're doing the coding sections in parallel with the book while you read! You feel your understand growing with each page turn and before you know it you're off and running with the more advanced topics like Entity Framework, Creating a web app using ASP.NET or creating your own Web API.If you're looking to start building with C# quickly while having a great understanding of your code I would highly recommend this read! Packt really hit the mark on this book! My hats off to the authors as well! Thank you, Jason Hales, Almantas Karpavicius, and Mateus Viegas! Fantastic read!

These authors were meticulous and caring enough to include and speak to assumptions that other books and online courses seem to ignore. I recommend it as a first choice beginners and as a "a-ha" supplement for intermediates.
