Version 1.1 Page 3
The contents of .NET Book Zero are copyrighted by me, but the book is
freely distributable. You can give it to whomever you want. You can make
copies. You can print it out and give it away. But you can‘t charge for it,
and you can‘t modify it, and you can‘t use any part of this book in anoth-
er work without my permission.
If you‘d like to reference this book on your own Web site, I ask that you
do so using a link to the page on my Web site where this book is found.
That page is:

That‘s the page where people can find the latest version of the book and
download the source code I show in the pages that follow.
If you like this book, perhaps you‘d like to read some other books I‘ve
written. Come to my web site, www.charlespetzold.com and check them
out. These other books aren‘t free, alas. They will cost you money. But
you will be pleased to know that I receive a small percentage of the price
you pay for each book. That money helps me pay my rent and feed my-
self, and enables me to write more books in the future.
In writing this book, I‘ve drawn upon some of my earlier writing about C#
and the .NET Framework. Some of the earlier chapters are revisions of
Chapter 1 in Programming Microsoft Windows with C# (Microsoft Press,
2001), which is an introduction to Windows Forms programming. Some
of the later chapters were drawn from appendices of that book. The chap-
ters specific to the object-oriented programming aspects of C# were
drawn from my book Programming in the Key of C#.
As a .NET programmer, you‘ll probably specialize in a particular aspect of
.NET, and you‘ll likely buy a couple books on that subject. But there are
two essential books that every C# and .NET programmer should have.
The first essential book is The C# Programming Language by Anders
Hejlsberg, Scott Wiltamuth, and Peter Golde (2
nd
edition, Addison-
Wesley, 2006). This book is the official technical specification of the C#
language. It is certainly not a tutorial for learning the language, but a
great book to read after you‘ve become adept at C# programming.
Downloadable versions of The C# Programming Language are available
under the title C# Language Specification from this Web page:

Because the online title C# Language Specification is actually more
accurate than the book title The C# Programming Language, I will refer to
the online title rather than the book title when I sometimes refer to the
book using chapter and section numbers.
