Programming with C#

Learn the Fundamentals of C# Programming

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the C# programming language, perfect for beginners looking to build a strong foundation. We'll cover essential concepts to get you started with C# development. Future modules will expand to include web application development and Entity Framework.

Here's what you'll learn:

• C# Basics: A thorough introduction to the C# programming language, designed for those new to coding.
• Variables & Data Types: Understand how to declare and utilize variables, exploring various data types in C#.
• Control Flow: Master selection statements (if/else) and iteration (loops) to control the flow of your programs.
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with C#: Delve into the core principles of OOP, including:
  • Classes & Objects: Learn to define classes, create objects, and understand their roles.
  • Fields & Properties: Explore how to manage data within classes.
  • Constructors: Understand how to initialize objects.
  • Inheritance & Interfaces: Learn to create derived classes and utilize interfaces for code reusability.
• Collections: Work with various collection types, including:
  • Queue, Stack, List, Dictionary: Understand when and how to use each collection for efficient data management.
• Records in C#: Learn to leverage C# records for concise and immutable data representation.
• Delegates & Lambda Expressions: Explore the power of delegates and lambda expressions for functional programming.
• LINQ (Language Integrated Query): Efficiently query and manipulate data using LINQ.
• .NET File I/O: Learn to read from and write to files using .NET's file and stream classes.
• JSON Data Handling: Work with data stored in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format.

Hands-on Project:

Throughout the course, you'll participate in a mini-project: developing a console application for a learning management system. This application will manage data for Students, Instructors, and Courses, allowing you to apply the concepts learned and build a practical C# application from requirements to a working solution. This project provides valuable experience in software development and reinforces your understanding of C# principles.
