Objective

This training course teaches C# for beginner developers. The course primarily introduces the language itself, but the topic is inevitably touch several features of the .NET Framework too. To learn about the features of the .NET class library, we suggest Course 20-483 Programming in C#.

The course is available in the following programming languages: C#.

Participants

Beginner software developers who has basic knowledge of at least one other language like VB, VB.NET, Delphi, C, C++, Java or JavaScript.

Content

This course is mainly constructed for aspiring .NET programmers who want to learn C# from the beginning. We expect participants have some programming experience before they start this course. Ideally they’ll feel comfortable with loops and branching in programming. We’ll show you how to write loops and branches in C#, but the course will be easier if you have some of these fundamental programming concepts already.
