Written as an introduction to the new C#, this guide takes the experienced C programmer a few steps beyond the basics. It covers objects, data types, and flow control, and even delves into some background on the new Microsoft NET Frameworks environment. Keeping in mind that this is for those familiar with C (and even Java), the book goes into some of the advanced features and improvements found in this new language. It also offers a comparison between C#, C++, Visual Basic, and Java.
