C# 0 The Complete Reference

A Book for All Programmers

This book does not require any previous programming experience. If you already know 

C++ or Java, you will be able to advance quite rapidly because C# has much in common 

with those languages. If you don’t have any previous programming experience, you will 

still be able to learn C# from this book, but you will need to work carefully through the 

examples in each chapter.

Required Software

To compile and run C# 3.0 programs, you must use Visual Studio 2008 or later.
