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.

What is version control?

A version control system is a system or application that keeps track of software code changes during development. Software developers used to keep backups of their code by copying the code into another folder or machine. If the developer or production machine crashed, they could take the code from the backup and run it. However, manually keeping and maintaining backups is troublesome and prone to error, and backup systems are vulnerable to corruption. For this reason, developers began looking for a system or application that could keep their code safe.

Version control is also useful in situations where more than one programmer is working on a project. In the past, programmers had to either work on different files to avoid conflicts or carefully merge the code after some time. Manually merging code is very risky and time-consuming.
