Final Review
"Learn to Program with C#" introduces the reader to the basic principles
of computer programming while teaching Microsoft's C# language. This
book will be useful to both novice and advanced programmers
with some experience in another language (i.e. C++, Java, VB).
The authors teaching style allows each student to build confidence
while learning the fundamentals of the language. Smiley does not expect
you to have knowledge of any version of "C". The introductory
chapters help you refresh available knowledge of concepts such as
the "systems development life cycle". which are important to consider
before embarking on any programming project. John Smiley presents
himself as the first-person narrator and instructor.
Throughout the book, we can follow the development of an actual C#
application. This is the same way you will learn technology in MOC
courses. You work on a "class project" case study. The classroom
concept, with named male and female students who ask intelligent questions,
is well thought out.
Smiley has the necessary experience to build this in an enjoyable
way. It is easy to relate to and follow. This narrative format works
well to lead us through the possible issues that may pop up. You will
find out about methods, classes, controlling access to object data,
and inheritance.

All the topics that Smiley undertakes to teach in his book are clearly
explained and fully illustrated with "screen shots". Sample code is
included along the chapters to build pieces of an application. Begin
to write C# applications.
