Learn C# | C# course for beginners
Intro To C# Programming
C# is a powerful cross-platform, object-oriented programming language used by many programmers to create apps for mobile and desktop.
Designed for beginners, this intro to C# course teaches you the basics of C# programming, including variables, data types, and math operations. You will build on this foundation with practical, hands-on exercises and examples every step of the way. You will be able to apply your skills to create programs of your own - like a fun Madlib game - that you can add to your portfolio. By the end of the course, you will have gained the fundamental knowledge you need to start creating more projects with C#.
In this intro to C# course, you will learn how to:
- Explore fundamental concepts including variables, data types, strings, and math operations
- Collect user input
- Work with arrays, methods, logic, and loops
- Ensure proper error and exception handling
- Get an introduction to classes
- Build your own basic program and more!
Once enrolled, our friendly support team and tutors are here to help with any course-related inquiries.
