Welcome to my Basic course on C# Programming with Visual Studio!
My name is Matthew Dewey. I am an experienced programmer, having received several accommodations on programming in my formal education as well as tough several programming languages to thousands of students. My goal is to provide you, the budding programmer, the the knowledge you need on programming in an easy and fun manner. In this course I do just that and with one of the most useful IDEs coupled with the C# programming language.
C#, a wonderfully simple programming language that has encouraged many programmers to pursue careers involving C# over any other language. Of course, it goes without saying that C# is an excellent language, but do you know what is required of you to start programming C#?
As with any programming language it is important you understand the fundamentals and that is exactly what I teach you in this course.
I help you:
What about Visual Studio? A popular, widely used IDE that many large applications have been created in over the years. Do you know how to use it to its full potential? Well, in this course we will go through several lessons that will help you get comfortable with the IDE as well as more adept at program creation.
Go no further if you're looking for the course that will guide you into the world of programming! With my course I can guarantee that the knowledge you learn will help you get a head-start in C# programming. I hope you enjoy the course and it helps you on your way into the world of programming!
