C # Dự án bắt đầu gần năm năm trước, vào tháng 12 năm 1998, với mục tiêu để tạo ra một đơn giản, hiện đại, hướng đối tượng, và ngôn ngữ lập trình loại an toàn cho nền tảng NET mới và chưa được đặt tên. Kể từ đó, C # đã đi một chặng đường dài. Đây là ngôn ngữ được sử dụng bởi hàng trăm hàng ngàn lập trình viên, | Preface The C project started almost five years ago in December 1998 with the goal to create a simple modern object-oriented and type-safe programming language for the new and yet to be named .NET platform. Since then C has come a long way. The language is now in use by hundreds of thousands of programmers it has been standardized by both ECMA and ISO IEC and the development of a second version of the language with several major new features is close to completion. This book is a complete technical specification of the C programming language. The book is divided into three parts. Part I C includes Chapters 1-18 and describes the C language as delivered in Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003. Part II C includes Chapters 19-23 and describes the four major new features of C generics anonymous methods iterators and partial types. Part III Appendixes describes documentation comments and summarizes the lexical and syntactic grammars found in Part I of the book. As of this writing C is close to entering beta testing. Because C is still a work in progress some of the new features described in the second part of the book might change in the final release. We do however expect any such changes to be minor. Many people have been involved in the creation of the C language. The language design team for C consisted of Anders Hejlsberg Scott Wiltamuth Peter Golde Peter Sollich and Eric Gunnerson. For C the language design team consisted of Anders Hejlsberg Peter Golde Peter Hallam Shon Katzenberger Todd Proebsting and Anson Horton. Furthermore the design and implementation of generics in C and the .NET Common Language Runtime is based on the Gyro prototype built by Don Syme and Andrew Kennedy of Microsoft Research. It is impossible to acknowledge all the people who have influenced the design of C but we are nonetheless grateful to all of them. Nothing good gets designed in a vacuum and the constant feedback we receive from our large and enthusiastic .
