HRDF Course-C# Programming Essential Training

C# is an object-oriented language designed by Microsoft and used by systems engineers, desktop programmers, and mobile app developers the world over. This course will take you through C#'s history, its core syntax, and the fundamentals of writing strong C# code. After explaining C#'s relationship to .NET and Windows, the trainer will show you how to install Visual Studio, a great IDE for developing in C#, and then dives into the language itself.

Topics include:

• Declaring and initializing variables with a variety of data types
• Exploring operators, expressions, constants, and enumerations
• Controlling flow with conditional code and loops
• Handling exceptions
• Managing data collections
• Creating custom classes
• Organizing classes by namespace
• Understanding inheritance

Whether you're choosing C# as your first step into programming or adding it your existing skillset, these training videos will help you understand the language and use it to build your own great software.
