<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>VISUAL C# AND DATABASES is a step-by-step database programming tutorial that provides a detailed introduction to using Visual C# for accessing and maintaining databases for desktop applications. Topics covered include: database structure, database design, Visual C# project building, ADO .NET data objects (connection, data adapter, command, data table), data bound controls, proper interface design, structured query language (SQL), creating databases using Access, SQL Server and ADOX, and database reports. Actual projects developed include a books tracking system, a sales invoicing program, a home inventory system and a daily weather monitor</p><p>VISUAL C# AND DATABASES is presented using a combination of over 850 pages of self-study notes and actual Visual C# examples. No previous experience working with databases is presumed. It is assumed, however, that users of the product are familiar with the Visual C# environment and the steps involved in building a Visual C# application. This pre-requisite training can be gained from our LEARN VISUAL C# course.</p><p>VISUAL C# AND DATABASES requires the Microsoft Windows operating system. This tutorial also requires the free Community Edition or Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. The Visual C# source code solutions and all needed multimedia files are included in the compressed download file available from the Publisher's website (KidwareSoftware.com) after book registration.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"Most computer programs in use today require some interaction with information stored in a database so learning to program with databases increases the marketability of a developer exponentially. This book is structured as a self-study guide but it is easily adapted to classroom lectures and discussion. The content of the book is excellent. It starts with the basics and graduates in small and clear but functional increments. It makes database programming much easier to teach and learn. "Visual C# and Databases" provides a complete, thorough, and easy to understand explanation of database program development from two people who came up through the ranks as software developers. Their examples reflect real-world applications that will help new developers quickly master database software development. Students can easily convert and expand the examples for their own applications. For example, the Books Database in Chapter 4 could easily be modified to search a similar database of cars, bikes, or passwords, etc. Examples are created using Microsoft's Access database management system (DBMS) and SQL Server. This makes it easy for the student to compare their capabilities and syntax. I have sincerely enjoyed reading and working through the examples in, "Visual C# and Databases". The examples are clear and easy to follow. If I had any questions or if my code did not work I could simply peek at the authors' completed code examples to get back on track. Throughout the book the authors bring attention to the importance of user interface (UI) design. This is more important than may be obvious at first but developers tend to focus on the code and forget about the UI but eventually someone needs to use this program so a functional and attractive presentation of the program can be the difference between success and failure of the end product. A major plus for this text is how the authors include additional and very useful parallel topics such as the On-Line Help system created in HTML in Chapter 5 and the Graphics Methods in Chapter 7. The book is not about HTML or graphics but the coincidental inclusion give the student a valuable glimpse at other topics of importance. These are just two examples that didn't have to be included but they are added as part of other chapters and will ultimately benefit the student. This took a lot of forethought by the authors and demonstrates the real value of the book. As a programmer, a long-time college professor, and as the former head of the Computer, Engineering, and Business Department, I have reviewed countless programming books for most of the popular programming languages. "Visual C# and Databases" by Conrod and Tylee is my favorite text for helping developers make the leap into the rewarding field of database development. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about becoming a professional software developer/engineer."</em><strong><em> </em>- David B. Taylor, B.S.E.T., M.A.Ed., Ed.S., Former Professor and Department Chair, Computer, Engineering, and Business, Seminole State College, Sanford, Florida</strong></p><p><em>"I bought and used Learn Visual C# followed by the Visual C# and Databases course. I quickly and relatively easily became a very useful member of the team developing a medical database project because I was the only physician with a background in both the medical and programmer knowledge necessary to communicate intelligently with both doctors and programmers. Both of the courses were enough to help me continue to be productive."</em> -<strong> Dr. Harry Goldstein M.D., Netanya, Israel</strong></p><br>
