C# Programming for Absolute Beginners
About the book
The book is intended for readers who want to start programming. It differs from other books in its really slow pace of explanations and its deep coverage of the topics based on many examples, frequently illustrating different aspects of the same question.
Though it has C# in its title, it is focused on computer programming in general. What is important for you is to master the way a programmer thinks. When you manage to do this, you can quickly learn as many languages as you need. C# is only the means to express your thoughts in a computer-friendly way.
