Programming Windows with C# (Core Reference)

"In that succinct and (perhaps consequently) much-beloved classic tutorial The C Programming Language, authors Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie begin by presenting what has come to be known as the hello-world program: #include main() { printf("hello. world\n"):} While such a program hardly exploits the power of today's computers, it's certainly useful on the practical level because it gives the eager student programmer the opportunity to make sure that the compiler and all its associated files are correctly installed."
