Which book suits me the best?

I am a student. I have registered a Dreamspark account recently and is able to download Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013.
I have no experience of programming, and almost knew nothing about it, I know only some simple commands in Windows Command Prompt.
Now, the problem is which book is best for me to learn Microsoft Visual C# 2013?
Is a Microsoft Visual C# 2012 book same as the 2013's?
I can't find a book about Microsoft Visual C# 2013 for beginners at Amazon.com.
Can anyone help me out?
I am intend to learn and create apps.
Is there any book suits for me? If there is, please send me the websites.
I really need some experts to lead me.

Hi, Learning-guy.
Yes - you can actually use books for VS 2005 (Visual Studio 2005), VS 2008, VS 2010, VS 2012, and VS 2013. However, when you use books that are closer in version number to 2013 (VS 2012, for example), the screenshots will be more similar to VS
2013. As well, the latest books will discuss the latest libraries and patterns used with the newer versions of .NET.
Because VS 2012 and VS 2013 are so similar a released only one year apart, going with a VS 2012 will be almost identical. I suspect a lot of authors and book publishers were caught off guard by such a fast release of the next version.
To be honest, the most important concepts that you must learn have been there since it was released with VS 2002. These concepts include Solutions/Projects, Building, csc.exe, OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), CTS (Common Type System), Garbage collection,
.NET assemblies, and much more.
When considering a book, always look at the user comments on the US Amazon site. People are brutally honest if a book is great or should be ignored. Here are a few books you should consider. This list is not
all the books you should consider - just some of them:
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Object-Oriented-Programming-Dan-Clark/dp/1430249358
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Visual-C-2012-Programming/dp/1118314417
http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-C-Jennifer-Greene/dp/1449343503
As well, consider all the free online training at Microsoft Virtual Academy:

Good luck!

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

  • Hi, I planned to purchase a laptop for me to use for graphic design ..could let me know which laptop would be the best for me to use ? Thank you!

    Hi, I planned to purchase a laptop for me to use for graphic design ..could let me know which laptop would be the best for me to use ? Thank you! Pro or Air

    Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
    I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
    The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
    Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
    I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
    Good luck,

  • Which hard drive is the best?

    I was thinking about replacing the hard drive and the combo drive with something better.
    Which hard drive is the best? Is it the Western Digital? I was also looking at Samsung but after reading about them using harmful chemicals, I became a bit hesitant.

  • Which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Base on individual experience, which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Hot-Key mode MacMini and IO Gear KVM Switch MiniView Micro USB Plus
    Fusionwolf, can you help me?
    I want to use my TFT monitor (HPvs19 ) with a MacMini and a Casablanca KRON PC. The monitor works good with both computers, when connecting them separately.
    I've bought a KVM switch MiniView Micro USB Plus (IOGear GCS632U) connected it as written in the IOGear Installation Manual. Now I can use the monitor with my MacMini and my Mac keyboard, but I cannot switch to the PC.
    In the IO Gear manual several methods to switch ports are written. But every method starts by invoking HotKey mode.
    The manual reads :
    "To invoke HotKey mode, do the following:
    1. Press and hold down the NumLock key
    2. Press and release the minus- key
    3. Release the NumLock key"
    and
    "When HotKey mode is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that Hotkey mode is in effect."
    I've tried many times to do this pressing/releasing on my Mac keyboard. Within different time/speeds. But with no result... I CANNOT get in the HotKey mode...
    What can I do? Are there other ways to get in HotKey mode with my Mac keyboard (bought with my previous iMac some 4 years ago)? Or are there other ways of switching with the IO Gear KVM Switch?
    Thanks a lot in advance for an answer!

  • Which web browser is the best?(firefox, chrome, safari)

    I am using mac 10.6.4 which web browser is the best for mac?
    Facebook, youtube etc.
    Thanks
    Ala.

    What could be possibly better than an Apple product for an Apple product.
    Actually there are various areas where Safari is defective compared to other browsers. For example it lacks the ability to override the fonts of a website with fonts of your own choosing. Also it cannot send a different language identifier for multilingual webpages without changing the language for the entire OS. Whether the defects matter depends of course on each user's individual requirements.

  • Which method signature is the best?

    Among the following method signatures in Java, which one can provide the best performance while the method is called? Why?
    (1) public void my_method( String a, int b, int c )
    (2) public void my_method( int b, String a, int c )
    (3) public void my_method( int b, int c, String a )

    1) All primitive types (except long and double) are pushed onto the stack as 32-bit entities and are 32-bit aligned. The reference types are pushed as a reference and occupy 32-bit also.
    2) If the method have had tens or hundreds of parameters, the opcodes for accessing some parameters will have short offsets and other parameters will have long offsets. When you have only 3 or 4 parameters there is no difference between the offsets needed to access each parameter. The difference of time used for the interpreter or JIT compiler for dealing with short or long offsets usually is negligible.
    3) So the better way to speed up your program is to forget micro-optimization and concentrate in better algorithms and caching data if possible.

  • Dynamic streaming - which encoding bitrates are the best to use

    If I was to stream live fast action sporting event like a basketball game, using dynamic streaming (3 streams) with a dedicated 10MB upstream connection and a strong encoding appliance(viewcast model) what are the best/most common bitrates I should encode at? Which bitrates are most accessible for both PC and mobile, average users?
    >> 275kbps, 550kbps, 875kbps
    >> 282kbps, 482kbps, 682kbps
    >> 300kbps, 500kbps, 800kbps
    Would a lot of buffering occur if a viewers connection fluctuates alot between 550 and 875kbps?
    Thanks.D

    It will depend upon your client base - do you any idea what is bandwidth profile of most of your client base? I think that would help you decide which one would better suit your need - there is nothing like best per se but depending on your client profile - customers decide thier MBR set

  • Looking for an app for a blue tooth, type I want to use on my Iphone is a "jawbone" Question is out of the many available in the store which one would be the best and most reliable?

    Looking for an app for blue tooth on my Iphone.  Out of the many in the app store which one(s) would be the best & most reliable?  Currently trying to set up for an older Jaw Bone?

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Which MacBook Pro is the best for me

    256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics

    -Watching Netflix
    -Doing School Work
    -Editing and uploading videos
    -Playing 1 or 2 Games.

    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. It has got a quad-core CPU and a better GPU, which will improve your video editing and games experience, even if the Intel Iris Pro GPU is not the best GPU for those tasks

  • Toshiba Recovery method - Which set up is the best

    I have purchased a new lap top and on set up it is asking me to select a recovery method. Options are
    - Recover to out- of -box-state (System Recovery Options are included)
    - Recover without changing the hard drive partitions
    - Recover to a custom size partition
    Which is the best option to select?
    I am thinking that the custom would be the best once I have made my recovery discs after full set up but want to be sure.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks smilee

    Hi
    - *Recover to out-of-box-state (System Recovery Options are included)*
    This Option sets your notebook back, to the Factory default status. The partitions will be deleted and created again, as they have been on the first boot.
    Note: All data will be lost and HDD Recovery Option will still be available, if you want to recover your notebook again.
    - *Recover without changing the hard drive partitions*
    All data on the first partition will be lost and HDD Recovery Option will be still available, if you want to recover your notebook again.
    - *Recover to a custom size partition*
    All data on the HDD will be lost and HDD Recovery Option will not be available anymore, if you want to recover your notebook again. Be sure to have a recovery DVD created for the future

  • Which Canon Camcorder has the best built in microphone for recording musical instruments

    Which Canon Camcorder in the affordable price range has the best built in onboard microphone for recording musical instruments
    Thanks.

    TheBee,
    Thanks for writing!
    The built-in microphones on the camcorder are fairly similar.  When you're recording music, we recommend the use of an external microphone.
    The mic you use really depends on what you're recording and where.
    So we may better assist you, please provide a bit of information regarding the type of recordings you'll be making, the music and the setting (i.e. what kind of venue, your distance to the music, etc).

  • Which compressor Type is the Best for Voice over recordings?

    The compressor Plug in in sdtr pro has a vca, platinum, opto etc
    Which One is the Best for male Voice overs?
    I don't Know the differences opto, platinum, opto....

    Opto, VCA, and FET refer to models of different analog circuitry that accomplishes compression in different ways.
    Not positive, but I think "platinum" is not really a model, but the plug's own compression scheme.
    When I worked at an audio post facility, we had hardware UA 1176 compressors, which are FET compressors. They sounded pretty fantastic, but that's not saying that the model in the plugin will sound that way.
    Here's a nice discussion of the different types:
    http://www.barryrudolph.com/mix/comp.html
    Scroll down to the salmon background sidebar.
    Ultimately, it's really best to try the different models out and see which sounds best on your material. Let your ears be the judge.
    Good luck!
