Prepare for the C#/.NET technical interview with in-depth coverage of 50 essential mid-level questions, and access free e-books, an Anki flashcards deck, quizzes, a learning plan, and complete code examples.
Meet Krystyna, your instructor, a C# developer since 2013 with a degree in applied computer science and more than 250 technical interviews, plus insights from her YouTube channel Elegant Code.
Install Visual Studio Community on Windows to begin .NET desktop development with C#. Complete setup, accept privacy prompts, and sign in with a Microsoft account to create your first project.
Install and configure the .NET SDK, Visual Studio Code, and the C# Dev Kit extension on macOS, verify installation with dotnet --info, and understand cross-platform considerations.
Access the code by cloning the GitHub repository or downloading and unzipping the zip file, then build the solution in Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code to verify it builds.
Compare tuples and ValueTuples by understanding their reference versus value types, immutability, and how equality works. Explore creation, naming, and element limits, including more than eight elements and performance implications.
Compare is and as in C# by validating type with is and casting with as. As returns null on failure for reference or nullable types, while is returns a boolean.
Explore how coding exercises work on Udemy, including a warm-up to implement add in a Calculator class, with instructions, automated tests, hints, and solution tabs.
Learn how the using keyword offers a directive for namespaces and aliases, and a statement that defines disposal scope for IDisposable objects, plus global and static using features.
Explore how the dynamic keyword in C# bypasses static type checks, contrasting statically typed C# with dynamically typed Python, and examine runtime versus compile-time errors in practical examples.
Discover expression-bodied members in C#, using the arrow operator to write single-expression methods and properties, with examples like the ToString method, read-only age, and concise constructors.
Explore how the Func and Action types let you treat functions as objects and pass them as parameters in C#, and how lambda expressions enable concise anonymous predicates.
Explore what delegates are in C#, how to declare and use them, including multicast delegates, and compare with generic Func and Action while noting when custom delegates matter.
Discover how the .NET garbage collector uses tracing and mark-and-sweep to identify reachable objects from application roots—local variables on the thread stack and static fields—and remove the rest.
Explain how the garbage collector uses generations zero, one, and two to optimize memory by marking reachable objects, collecting generation zero most often, and pinning large objects in the heap.
Why this course?
I've conducted over 250 technical interviews as a .NET Technical Lead. I know what interviewers ask, how they evaluate answers, and what separates a "good enough" response from one that actually impresses.
This course teaches you exactly what you need for a mid-level C# interview. We go through 50 essential questions in depth, plus 100 bonus questions — 150 real-world questions total. Each one is explained so you understand why the answer is correct, not just what to say.
What makes this course different?
Most interview prep courses are question dumps — here's the question, here's the answer, memorize it. This course takes a different approach:
We learn by coding. Topics are explained with hands-on examples, and the course includes 10 in-browser coding exercises to reinforce your understanding.
We go deep. Each topic is broken down so you can handle follow-up and trick questions with confidence.
We cover what actually gets asked. The questions in this course are based on real interviews, not pulled from a textbook.
What's inside?
8 hours of video covering the advanced topics interviewers expect mid-level candidates to know:
Advanced C# mechanisms — reflection, the dynamic keyword, pattern matching, nullable reference types
Design principles and best coding practices — with real-world reasoning, not just definitions
5 popular design patterns — when and why to use each one
C# collections in depth — differences, trade-offs, and the follow-up questions interviewers love to ask
Events, lambda expressions, and more — the topics that separate junior answers from mid-level ones
Included with the course
Two free e-books — one with all mid-level questions and answers, one reviewing 15 essential junior-level topics (just in case you need a refresher)
Printable flashcards + Anki deck — study on the go, anywhere, anytime
Full Git repository with all the code from the lectures
10 in-browser coding exercises to practice as you learn
Coming from the junior level?
No problem. This course picks up where junior-level knowledge ends. And just in case there are any gaps, a free e-book reviewing 15 essential junior-level topics is included — so you can get up to speed before diving into the advanced material.
Not preparing for an interview right now?
That's fine too. Many students take this course to deepen their understanding of C# and fill knowledge gaps. Interview questions are a great framework for learning — they force you to think about the "why" behind every concept, which makes you a better programmer regardless of whether you have an interview coming up.
