Beginner C# Programming with Visual Studio

Learn the basics of C# programming with Visual Studio, covering the first line of code, variables, and user input, while building fundamentals through fun practice projects.

Download and install Visual Studio Community for Windows, choose the .NET desktop development workload, sign in with a Microsoft account, and customize the IDE theme to dark for comfortable coding.

Explore the Visual Studio IDE tour, create a hello world console app for a Windows classic desktop project, and run your first code using a console output.

Explore string and char data types in a beginner C# course, creating console applications, declaring string and char variables, using constants, naming conventions, and concatenating outputs for display.

Explore C# integer types with Visual Studio—byte, short, int, and long—and explore their ranges while practicing basic math operations, including addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication with proper parentheses.

Explore the three real number types in C#: float, double, and decimal, with double as the common choice, and learn how to suffix literals to prevent type conflicts.

Explore basic C# data types and conversions in Visual Studio, including implicit and explicit casting, casting syntax, the Convert class, and parse methods to convert strings, chars, and numbers.

Learn to create a console project in Visual Studio and use if statements to compare numbers with operators like greater than, less than, equals, and not equals, if else blocks.

Explore nested if statements in C# and simplify with and (&&) and or (||) operators to test ranges, such as numbers greater than 10 and less than 20.

Use the while loop to repeat code while a condition is true, using a counter num starting at 0 and incrementing until num < 10 with console outputs.

Learn how to use a for loop in C# with Visual Studio, using a built-in counter and console output that runs ten times, comparing it to a while loop.

Retrieve user input in a C# console app by reading strings (such as a name) and integers (such as age), parsing the input, storing values in variables, and displaying results.

Create a ticket tester in C# that asks five ages, uses two if statements and a while loop to count entries and non-entries, then prints entry counts and percentage.

Build a console C# program in Visual Studio that uses a while loop to collect ages, validate input, count entries, and report the percentage of testers not allowed and allowed.

Celebrate completing the beginner C# course with Visual Studio by showing how you installed the IDE, wrote hello world, explored variable types, processed input, and created basic programs for learning.
