C# Course with MicroSoft Visual Studio 2013

This comprehensive C# course is designed for beginner programmers, as you won't be rushing through code. It focuses on the C# language rather than the graphical aspects of Windows programming. The focus at first is on simple Console applications. This course works with Visual Studio 2013, or Visual Studio 2015.

You'll learn in a detailed and deliberate way so you can set a foundation and move from basic to more advanced concepts easily.

In addition to learning C#, you'll also cover the Microsoft Visual Studio programming environment, which will serve as the perfect complement to your newfound C# skills.

Learn C#, Visual Studio, and Object Oriented Programming

Start Using the C# Programming Language to Work with Code and Data Through Simple Console Applications

Understand the Microsoft Visual Studio Environment as It Relates to C#

Apply the Fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming to Data

Enhance Your Programming Skills with a Foundation in C#

Throughout this course, you'll learn the core concepts of C#, which can then be applied directly to other popular programming languages, including C++, C, Java, and JavaScript.

Contents and Overview

You'll start this course by learning the fundamentals of C# and Visual Studio, including configuring the layout, defining variables, interacting with users, and understanding data types, data conversions, and constants.

To work with code in a more advanced way, you'll tackle how to check simple conditions using if/else blocks, as well as how to use loops to do things like repeat blocks of code to work more efficiently.

After covering various operators to evaluate and assign control structures, you'll learn how to use arrays to store collections of data.

Moving on to Object Oriented Programming, you'll create objects that contain both data and functions to make your job even easier.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of the most important aspects of C#, Visual Studio, and Object Oriented Programming.

You'll be able to use these new skills to advance your career as a programmer, as well as become a C# developer
