This book's quick-start, project-based approach makes building new programming skills fun and fast! Visual C# Express provides a lightweight tool for first-time programmers and hobbyists who are interested in learning how to program and how to create Windows-based applications. Its features make it simple for first-time programmers to take advantage of many of the productivity advances in Visual C# 2005.
