Start your journey into C# programming with this comprehensive course designed for beginners. You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of programming, exploring C# and the .NET ecosystem, and understanding best practices for writing clean, maintainable code. By setting up your development environment with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, you’ll be fully prepared to dive into coding. The course gradually builds your knowledge of C# syntax, covering variables, data types, user input, and output. You’ll then explore essential programming concepts such as conditional logic, loops, operators, and methods. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll reinforce these concepts by developing interactive programs and debugging errors using industry-standard tools. As you progress, you’ll work with GitHub for version control, master string, and DateTime manipulations, and explore error-handling techniques. You’ll also gain experience with arrays, collections, and object-oriented programming, allowing you to build scalable and structured applications. Each section includes coding exercises to apply what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios. This course is perfect for beginners looking to build a strong foundation in programming. No prior coding experience is required, making it an ideal starting point for aspiring developers. Whether you’re interested in software development, automation, or game development, mastering C# will open doors to numerous career opportunities.

Syllabus

  • Introduction to Programming with C#
    • In this module, we will introduce the basics of programming and explore why C# is a powerful language for software development. You'll gain an understanding of the .NET framework and best practices to write high-quality C# code.
  • Development Environment Setup
    • In this module, we will set up your development environment by installing the necessary tools, including Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code. You'll also get a guided tour of these tools to ensure you're ready to start coding in C#.
  • Basic C# Syntax
    • In this module, we will dive into the syntax of C#, covering top-level statements, variables, data types, and user interaction. You'll also put your knowledge to the test with a coding exercise to build a complete program.
  • Introducing GitHub
    • In this module, we will explore GitHub, a critical tool for software development and collaboration. You'll learn how to set up an account, push your code, and manage version control efficiently.
  • Debugging and Troubleshooting Techniques
    • In this module, we will cover essential debugging techniques to help you troubleshoot and optimize your C# code. You'll learn how to identify common errors and use debugging tools to analyze and fix issues efficiently.
