Description

In this course, learn the C# programming fundamentals that are the building blocks of .NET programming, and build a solid foundation on the basics of C# programming language and coding constructs. No prior C# or .NET coding experience is required.

Do you want to understand C# development environments and C# coding concepts such as variables, operators, selection statements, iterative statements, and so on? If 'Yes', then this course is for you. This course will teach you the fundamentals of the C# programming language in .NET from the ground up. You will be taken through a carefully selected approach for beginners toward learning C# programming fundamentals. In this course, you will delve into various critical aspects of C# programming, starting with a comprehensive grasp of C# variables encompassing text, numbers, Booleans, and arrays. Next, you will explore C# operators, covering basic, mathematical, unary, assignment, conditional, and bitwise operators. You will also gain insight into C# selection statements, including If and Switch statements, and navigate C# iterative statements, such as While, Do While, For, and For Each statements. Moreover, you will acquire essential skills in debugging C# programs, enabling you to troubleshoot effectively when faced with challenges. This course offers approximately two hours of hands-on, incremental C# programming instructions, ensuring that you build a solid foundation in the language by the course's end.

What You Will Learn

Learn the basics of C# programming language
Set up .NET development environment
Cover an overview of .NET, C# coding concepts
Explore variables, data types, and operators
Learn to control program flow with selection and iterative statements
Learn debugging C# programs in the .NET environment

Audience

This course is designed to cater to two distinct groups: absolute beginners who are entirely new to C# and .NET, providing them with a solid foundation in C# programming within the .NET Core framework; and programmers with experience in other languages looking to learn C#'s syntax in the context of .NET Core.

No prior knowledge of C# or .NET is required, as the course covers all the essentials to get started with C# programming fundamentals. Access to development environments such as Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, or any C# supporting IDE is recommended.

Approach

The course follows a hands-on approach where you will be mentored throughout each step of your learning process. This course will help you apply the learning by coding for simple problem statements through lots of practical demos and coding assignments.

Key Features

Build a solid foundation on the basics of C# programming language and coding constructs * Lots of demos showing how to use newly learned C# coding constructs * Each lesson in this course is bite-sized and easy to finish
