Learning Path: C# 2012 Developer

C# 2012 Developer Learning Path presents Paul Deitel’s signature “Live Code” treatment of Microsoft’s C# 2012 programming language—over 27 hours of expert video! Every important C# concept is presented in the context of a complete, working C# 2012 program. This LiveLesson contains over 20,000 lines of fully tested C# program code. And developers are free to reuse all of it.

Among the key topics included in this LiveLesson are:

• Databases and LINQ to Entities: The LINQ to SQL technology covered in the previous edition has been replaced with the more robust LINQ to Entities and the ADO.NET Entity Framework;

• Microsofts free SQL Server Express 2012 is used to present the fundamentals of database programming;

• ASP.NET 4.5, Microsofts .NET server-side technology, enables developers to create robust, scalable web-based apps;

Asynchronous programming with async and await. Asynchronous programming is simplified in Visual C# 2012 with the new async and await capabilities.
