Learn To Program C# (basic course)

The 1st edition of our C# course.(33 video lessons)

This is the original version of my C# course. Note that a newer, greatly expanded edition (version 2) of the course, is also now available.

This course was previously sold for $99. I am now making it FREE to help newcomers to C# to learn how to code in the language.

C# is one of the most widely used an important of all modern programming languages. If you need to learn C# quickly and painlessly, this is the perfect course. You will begin by learning the core features of programming – variables, constants, functions and data types. You will move on rapidly to learn about Object Orientation and the more advanced features of C# and the .NET framework such as file-handling, data-streaming, dealing with exceptions (errors) and overriding methods. Even if you start out as a complete beginner, by the end of this course you will have built a really solid foundation of programming knowledge and skills.

The sample projects are all provided ready for you to download, run and modify. The course also includes a course eBook that provides even more information on the topics being discussed.

The course instructor, Huw Collingbourne, is author of The Little Book Of C# (available from Amazon US, Amazon UK and worldwide).
