Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with C#

By: Raihan Taher

Overview of this book

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm organized around objects rather than actions, and data rather than logic. With the latest release of C#, you can look forward to new additions that improve object-oriented programming. This book will get you up to speed with OOP in C# in an engaging and interactive way. The book starts off by introducing you to C# language essentials and explaining OOP concepts through simple programs. You will then go on to learn how to use classes, interfacesm and properties to write pure OOP code in your applications. You will broaden your understanding of OOP further as you delve into some of the advanced features of the language, such as using events, delegates, and generics. Next, you will learn the secrets of writing good code by following design patterns and design principles. You'll also understand problem statements with their solutions and learn how to work with databases with the help of ADO.NET. Further on, you'll discover a chapter dedicated to the Git version control system. As you approach the conclusion, you'll be able to work through OOP-specific interview questions and understand how to tackle them. By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of OOP with C# and be able to take your skills to the next level.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at class hierarchies and some other features that make the C# programming language an OOP language. Knowing these concepts is essential for a C# developer. By knowing class hierarchies, you can design your system so that it is decoupled and flexible. You need to know how to use inheritance in your application to get the best of OOP. The interface, abstract class, sealed class, and partial class will give you good control of your application. When working in a team, defining the class hierarchies properly will help you to maintain code quality and security.

Knowing about tuples and properties will improve your code cleanness and make your life much easier when developing the application. Access specifiers are implementations of the OOP concept of encapsulation. It is important to be familiar with these concepts. You need to know which piece of...
