Want to build great programs really fast?

With C#, you’ve got a powerful programming language and a valuable tool at your fingertips. With the Visual Studio IDE, you’ll never have to spend hours writing obscure code to get a button working again. Even better, you’ll be able to focus on getting your work done, rather than remembering which method
parameter was for the name of a button, and which one was for its label. Soundappealing? Turn the page, and let’s get programming.


Why you should learn C#

C# and the Visual Studio IDE make it easy for you to get to the business of writing code, and writing it fast. When you’re working with C#, the IDE is your best friend and constant companion.



What you get with Visual Studio and C#

With a language like C#, tuned for Windows programming, and the Visual Studio IDE, you can focus on what your program is supposed to do immediately


C# and the Visual Studio IDE make lots of things easy


When you use C# and Visual Studio, you get all of these great features, without having to do any extra
work. Together, they let you:


1-Build an application, FAST. Creating programs in C# is a snap. The language is powerful and easy to learn, and the Visual Studio IDE does a lot of work for you automatically. You can leave mundane coding tasks to the IDE and focus on what your code should accomplish.

2-Create and interact with databases. The IDE includes an easy-to-use interface for building databases, and integrates seamlessly with SQL Server Compact Edition and many other popular database systems.

3-Design a great looking user interface. The Form Designer in the Visual Studio IDE is one of the easiest design tools to use out there. It does so much for you that you’ll find that making stunning user interfaces
is one of the most satisfying parts of developing a C# application. You can build full-featured professional programs without having to spend hours writing a graphical user interface entirely from scratch.

4-Focus on solving your REAL problems. The IDE does a lot for you, but you are still in control of what you build with C#. The IDE just lets you focus on your program, your work (or fun!), and your customers. But the IDE handles all the grunt work, such as:

≥≥ Keeping track of all your projects
≥≥ Making it easy to edit your project’s code
≥≥ Keeping track of your project’s graphics, audio, icons, and other resources
≥≥ Managing and interacting with databases All this means you’ll have all the time you would’ve spent doing this routine  programming to put into building killer programs............
