This updated edition of the book looks deep into the latest version of C# and serves as a thorough introduction to programming, no prior experience required. It’s built for anyone eager to pick up C# from square one, laying down a rock-solid foundation in Algorithmic Thinking—an essential skill for any budding programmer. And let me tell you, Algorithmic Thinking isn’t just about slinging code. It’s about tackling problems methodically and turning solutions into working code. That’s the real magic.
While keeping everything people loved from the previous edition, this version ups the ante with loads of fresh exercises and substantial updates. Plus, there’s a bunch of new content, including practical guidance on working with text files—something every programmer eventually needs to master.
The book is designed to work for both classroom settings and self-learners. Every chapter wraps up with a mix of questions and exercises, helping you lock in what you’ve learned and actually put it into practice. In total, you’re looking at about 250 solved exercises, 480 unsolved ones, 500 true/false questions, 150 multiple-choice questions, and 200 review questions and crosswords (with solutions online for when you need a hand). That makes it a killer resource for:
- Beginners or mid-level programmers learning on their own
- High school students
- College freshmen
- Teachers and professors
- Basically anyone who’s ready to jump into programming with a focus on solid techniques and best practices
One heads-up: this book sticks to command-line interface (CLI) applications, so if you’re itching for GUI stuff or web frameworks, that’s not the focus here. Instead, it’s all about nailing the fundamentals and giving you the skills you’ll need to tackle bigger challenges down the road.
