Programmers Heaven: C# School
16. The Road Ahead
Learning More
To fully cover the .Net framework and the C# language would need many more pages than this book has. However, we hope that it has equipped you with a sufficient understanding of the C# language and the .Net platform that, along with additional documentation, you will be ready to take on real world programming tasks.
The primary source of documentation for the .Net class library is the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network). This documents every class in the library, detailing each of its members and often providing usage examples. This can be found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229335.aspx.
Programmer’s Heaven has an area of the site dedicated to C#. This contains hundreds of articles on a wide range of topics, from attributes to XML, as well as a listing of tools and source code that can be freely downloaded. There are many more C# resources available online too – just search for them!
Getting Help
Ran into a problem? Got stuck? Don’t worry – help is available. There are a number of places that you can discuss C# and the .Net framework with others, including messages boards and IRC channels. Programmer’s Heaven has a C# message board, located at http://www.programmersheaven.com/c/MsgBoard/wwwboard.asp?Board=37.
Book.revision++
This is the first version of the C# school e-book, but we hope that it will not be the last. Future updates may include details of new language features in the forthcoming version 3 of the C# language as well as additional chapters on real world usage of C# and .Net, perhaps including ASP.Net, web services and XML.
What really shapes the future of this book is you – the reader – so please do get in contact with us and let us know what you would like to see improved or added. Programmer’s Heaven can be reached by email at info@programmersheaven.com and this e-book has a page with the latest news about it located at http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/CSharpBook
Good Luck!
The author and the editors of this book wish you the best of luck with learning and developing applications using C# and the .Net platform. Happy coding!
