Preface

Learning a new language or switching to an entirely different technology is a common industry demand. As a student one should prepare oneself to be up to date with market trends, and as a professional, one should be aware of the new things that are coming in with new technologies. To meet this demand, there are a lot of books that are of thousand pages long and aim to be comprehensive references to the C# programming language.
This book is entirely different and written so that someone who has a very basic knowledge of the C# language, or is a professional and working with another language but wants to switch, can learn C#. This book was designed with the aim that one should start with the basics and progress to an advanced level. The book contains concise content with relevant examples to explain everything.
There are a lot of sections in the book that will encourage you to learn more ; with this knowledge, you can impress your colleagues, employers, or batch-mates. There will be a few terms you will hear first time – no problem, you can learn about them in this book.
At the end of every section you will find a hands-on exercise section that will build confidence and give you ideas for solving practical problems. You can find various hints in these exercises.
For the code examples, you can go to the GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-CSharp-in-7-days/) and download the source code for all chapters. You can easily use these code example in Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 by following the instructions mentioned thereon.
