We decided to collect in one collection the most, in our opinion, interesting books of our publishing house devoted to the C # programming language. The post contains good books from beginner’s books (for example, the familiar book of the Head First series) to Geoffrey Richter and Charlie Petzold books for practicing programmers, in general, for every taste at the best prices on the Internet.

Programming for Microsoft Windows 8. 6th ed.

Posted by: C. Petzold

The sixth edition of this legendary book had to wait almost 15 years! In his new work, Charles Petzold, a well-known author and one of the pioneers of Windows programming, talks about developing applications for the Windows Store using C # and XAML in the Windows Runtime environment. The first part of the book "Basics" is devoted to techniques that are especially important for most ordinary programmers: the assembly of ready-made controls in the application and their association with code and data. This fully explains the entire program code and markup generated by Visual Studio for different project templates. The second part of the book “Special features” describes low-level and non-standard tasks - touch input, raster graphics, advanced text formatting, printing, work with orientation sensors and GPS. The book is addressed to developers confidently fluent in C # who want to learn the API for developing applications for Windows 8.

C # programming language. Classic Computers Science. 4th ed.

Authors: A. Hejlsberg, M. Torgersen, S. Wiltamut, P. Gold

This is the fourth edition of the main C # language book written by programming legend Anders Hejlsberg, C # architect, Delphi, and Turbo Pascal, along with other experts who were part of the Microsoft C # design team. The publication is the most complete description of the language and the most authoritative source of information on this topic, built in the format of a collection of specifications, including a description of the syntax, related materials and examples, as well as code samples. This book is a kind of “bible” of the developer, which can easily replace both MSDN and other books on C #. The fourth edition contains a description of the new features of C # 4.0, including dynamic binding, named and optional parameters, as well as covariant and contravariant generic types. The purpose of these innovations is to enhance the ability of C # to interact with non-.NET objects. A distinctive feature of the new edition is that each chapter of the book contains extensive comments written by famous programming gurus, such as John Skit, Joseph Albahari, Bill Wagner, Christian Nagel, Eric Lippert, and others.
