 The first computer programming book I read was entitled Programming Windows 3.0 by Charles Petzold. This was around the time when Microsoft Windows 3.0 (circa 1992) once and for all showed the industry that Microsoft was a company with a future. Writing code for Windows back then was complicated by many things: lack of documentation, 16-bit architecture, and the necessity of buying a compiler separate from the software development kit (SDK).

Now the problems are quite the opposite: we have too much documentation, |

 Chapter 1, "C# Preview," gives a quick glimpse of what a simple C# application looks like, and it describes some basic differences between the C# programming environment and the native C++ environment.
Chapter 2, "C# and the CLR," expands on Chapter 1 and quickly explores the managed environment within which C# applications run. I introduce you to assemblies, the basic building blocks of applications into which C# code files are compiled. Additionally, you'll see how metadata makes assemblies self-describing.
Chapter 3, "C# Syntax Overview," surveys the C# language syntax. |

 Because most real-world applications interact with data stored in relational databases, every C# programmer needs to know how to access that data. This book specifically covers how to interact with the SQL Server 2005 database using C# 2008. This book also covers LINQ and ADO.NET 3.5, the most exciting features of .NET Framework 3.5.
The chapters that shed light on database concepts will help you understand those concepts better than you would have learning them from a pure database concepts book. We also cover many new features of T-SQL, which SQL Server 2005 now incorporates.
