Description
Students will learn to create their own computer programs and video games using the C# programming language. No prior programming experience is assumed. This is a course for REAL BEGINNERS. We will introduce all the required programming skills from the ground up. This programming course is meant for ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN TO CODE. We cover C# syntax but more importantly we introduce the PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS necessary to convert practical problems to solutions in code. You get paid for solving problems everything else is just a technicality.
Our focus will be working with Visual Studio on WINDOWS machines . All coding examples are fully compatible with the LATEST Visual Studio Edition (As of 2023 Visual Studio Community 2022) for WINDOWS , Unfortunately they are not MAC compatible
A language like C# is typically learned "in a vacuum," and stripped of potentially distracting visual elements or front end graphical interfaces. This type of learning process - which is considered the standard approach is great for communicating the fundamentals. It allows you to focus on the most important and basic programming concepts you will need to understand, and is often presented through the output of a static, text-based console window. However, learning a language in this console vacuum can also be bland and boring, and can often lead to students becoming disengaged entirely.
Students are more likely to remain engaged by learning how to build Windows applications from day one in tandem with learning the C# programming language. Therefore, my lectures are designed to keep you engaged with the process of learning C# fundamentals by presenting them through a series of lessons aimed at creating simple, Windows Form based applications. This course, by jumping right into apps with a Graphical User Interface, allows the learner to feel like they are learning concepts that produce a tangible result.
I walk you carefully through every possible feature you can imagine, and I use hundreds of existing projects you can learn from, or expand on to make your own project. It's worth sifting through a dozen mediocre Udemy courses to find a gem like this. It's pretty close to a one stop shop for taking you from knowing nothing about WinForms, to building your own whole applications.
C# is a masterpiece in language design.
C# doesn’t have all the associated headaches of C++, nor the drudge work of Java—but contains almost all of their advantages.
C# is versatile: you can write web apps, games, desktop software, iOS and Android apps, and so forth. Probably the only area where Python beats C# is AI and Data Analytics , quite possibly due to the Python libraries and the established knowledge-user-base around it.
In modern web development, with C# you don’t even have to write client side Javascript. Blazor is a C# framework that enables you to build interactive client side applications with only HTML, CSS, and C#! Should you need to use Javascript, Blazor also supports interoperability with JavaScript libraries.
In game development, using C# (Monogame engine) you can get started in your programming journey by directly writing games which is more fun than dry exercises.
This course has more hours of video instruction (18 + hours) , lectures (90+) and exercises and supplemental resources (400+) than virtually any other Introductory C# course offered on Udemy. All for one low price.
Students will be exposed to all the stages in software development and develop problem-solving skills as well as learn the syntax of the C# language.
The challenges and applications are drawn from a variety of situations in the home, school and workplace. They address a wide spectrum of interests including business, science, math, art, music, and especially ANIMATION and GAMES (1/4 of the lectures).
My goal is not just to show you how to program, but to help you understand what you are doing, and why you are doing it. I am online daily to respond to any problems you may encounter.
Not only do the videos show you how to become a programmer in great detail, but each time an important concept is taught, I offer you a challenge that is designed to help you really understand what you have just learned.
You will go away and complete the challenge, and then come back and see the challenge answered and explained in detail in the video, allowing you to check your results!
Here's how I will help you to succeed:
o Each lecture starts with a list of objectives and speaking notes
o Every example covered in the lecture is available for download in the resources section including the objectives/speaking notes
o Almost every lecture has a set of Practice problems with full solutions provided
o My style of writing and teaching follows the KISS principle : Keep It Super Simple.
I try to stay away from fancy computer terminology and try to teach like am speaking to a brand new user with little to no previous knowledge on the subject matter, etc. and I am always available for help, replying most times within a day.
This is NOT a static course, updates are made several times a month, with new Lectures and Challenge Problems (100 + as of June 2023 fully solved) added on a continual basis.
And finally please do not judge a book by it's cover don't judge the course by the title or this small description section, if you want to know exactly all the topics covered please go to:
