MS_Press_Inside_C#

The goals of this chapter are to guide you through the terminology of object-oriented programming (OOP) and to give you an understanding of the importance of object-oriented concepts to programming. Many languages, such as C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic, are said to "support objects," but few languages actually support all the principles that constitute object-oriented programming. C# is one of these languages: it was designed from the ground up to be a truly object-oriented, component-based language. So, to get the absolute maximum out of this book, you need to have a strong grasp of the concepts presented here.
