This is the 2012 edition of Murach's best-selling C# book on developing Windows Forms applications. Here's what developers have said about earlier editions: "I have to tell you that your C# book is far and away the best resource I have seen to date. It really does do what the learner needs. It is simple, straightforward, presents logical examples, and the two-page format is the best." "With this book, I have quickly moved from being intimidated by C# to making it my language of choice, The fact that this process took me only 3 days should speak volumes about how effective this book is." "I am actually flying through the C# book! And a lot of the topics I had problems with in the past are now making perfect sense. From a college instructor: I have taught C# from a Murach text. It is the very first text where students have come to me unsolicited to tell me how good the book is.
