Course Description

Why Study C# Computer Programming?

C# computer programming is a computer programming language that is highly sought after. It is also fairly easy to learn for beginners. For more experienced developers, it is a great language due to its powerful features.

C# is a popular modern open-source programming language that runs well on multiple platforms compatible with .Net, Java and C++ programming. As such, learning C# is a springboard to creating enterprise systems, desktop applications, websites, and mobile applications. 

C# runs well on .NET.  Also, it is –

  • Simple and readable.
  • More productive to work with.
  • Flexible
  • Useful for general purpose
  • Useful across multiple paradigms.
  • Open source and cross platform
  • Useful across multiple platforms (desktop, mobile, web)
  • Approachable (to C++ and Java developers)
  • Object oriented (with many functional features)

 What Will You Learn in This Course?

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to C#.  By the end of the course, the student should understand the major aspects of C# and use this knowledge to produce their applications.  C sharp (C#) is a modern object-oriented language developed by Microsoft.

Computer programming is important because so much of our world is automated. Humans need to be able to control the interaction between people and machines. Since computers and machines are able to do things so efficiently and accurately, we use computer programming to harness computing power.

Problem-solving skill is the heart of programming and learning programming is about breaking up problems into smaller chunks, using your own logic and algorithms to create a program

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to C sharp (C#) and is designed for people that have not had any experience in computer programming before. C# is a modern object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft.
