C# Programming Techniques

This C# Programming Techniques site was created by author and programmer Harold Davis.

Davis says:

It's my pleasure to provide you with fun and useful information that I wish I'd had when I was starting out with C#. There's some fun stuff here, like the simulation application that tracks the birth and deaths of civilizations in the Guns, Germs, and Steel section. I also show you how to use the Google APIs from within a C# program.

The heart of this site is tutorials that teach you in practical terms how to deal with issues that every C# programmer must face, including:

• Getting up to speed with a crash course in the C# language
• Working with C# events
• Getting strict type conversion to work for you
• Making the most of class interfaces
• Communicating between form instances

Please contact me with any suggestions or comments, and enjoy my site.

Guns, Germs, and Steel

• Guns, Germs, and Steel: Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning book used as an approximate basis for the model in the Guns, Germs, and Steel simulation. Diamond also has a new book out, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, about why societies don't make it (or why they do).
