Description

What is Microsoft Visual C#?

C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a programming language that is designed for building a variety of applications that run on the .NET Framework. C# is simple, powerful, type-safe, and object-oriented. The many innovations in C# enable rapid application development while retaining the expressiveness and elegance of C-style languages.

What is this course all about?

This course is designed for people with NO prior programming experience. You will learn how to write computer programs using Microsoft Visual C#. The topics in this course are handpicked to build a strong foundation for all new programmers.

What makes this course better than the others?

This course is better than others due to the design of the lectures. Complex topics are explained in a way that anyone can understand. The instructor began as a self-taught programmer, and knows where new programmers make mistakes and get confused. All the topics in this course have the instructor’s personal tips and tricks that helped him to succeed.

Where should I go after I complete this course?

This course provides a foundation that allows you to continue your programming education in almost any area. You can stick with desktop development and learn how to build rich and immersive applications using technologies like WPF. You can enter the world of mobile development to build Android, iOS, and Windows applications using Xamarin with C#. If game development is your area of interest, you can build both desktop and mobile games using Unity with C#. If you are tired of software development, web development is also an option using ASP.NET.

Can I take the experience from this course to learn new programming languages?

Yes you can! C# is a "C" based programming language. All programming languages in the same family are extremely similar and easy to learn after learning C#. Some examples of "C" based languages are:

C
C++
Java
Objective-C
Perl
PHP
Python

This course matched my needs. The course is well laid out and presented very well. Quiz and Exercises included were well thought off. Instructor is clear and well versed on the topics covered. I will repeat the course to refresh my memory to firmly lock in all the course material before proceeding further.
