Learn C# fundamentals with Visual Studio, covering syntax, data types, operators, loops, conditionals, methods, console I/O, and structures. Examine object oriented concepts, classes, and value versus reference types.
Instructor and Course Author Chuck McCullough is the CEO of McCullough & Associates, a custom software development and training company founded in 1991.
Chuck has a degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University.
In this lecture, we take our first look at a C# program and some basics of Visual Studio.
This lecture explains how to use the Udemy Code Exercises to get the most out of them.
This introduction to methods provides basic information on creating and calling methods.
This brief lecture introduces console I/O and formatting.
This lecture demonstrates the usage of various C# operators as well as casting.
This lesson provides a brief introduction to common types found in .Net, including
Strings
I/O
Collections (ArrayList)
Primitive types
Learn how constructors initialize object fields in C#, and how overloading and constructor chaining use the initialization list. Discover why destructors are rarely used by the garbage collector.
This refers to the current object on which a member is invoked and helps distinguish fields from locals, pass the object to methods, and chain constructors, and cannot be reassigned.
Explore how the static keyword in C# assigns class-oriented behavior and universal data, enabling static members and a static class, a default color, and the singleton pattern.
Explore a landscape class built from a collection of circles, and learn to compute total area and perimeter by looping through each circle.
Create a customer class with a required name and zero or more landscapes; include an add method to append landscapes, and compute the area and parameter totals from its landscapes.
