My name is Tom Owsiak. 

I'm the author of "Beginning C# Hands-On-The Core Language" from Packt Publishing. Let's take a look at every this course has to offer. 

I have an updated version of a  similar course with Visual Studio 2017.

Please search "Learn C# with Visual Studio 2017 and Console Programs"

Update 8/24/2020: Added several new lessons on the bottom on concepts related to try/catch/finally and using blocks with C# 8.0.

This comprehensive C# course is designed for beginner programmers, as you won't be rushing through code. It focuses on the C# language rather than the graphical aspects of Windows programming. The focus at first is on simple Console applications. This course works with Visual Studio 2013, or Visual Studio 2015.

You'll learn in a detailed and deliberate way so you can set a foundation and move from basic to more advanced concepts easily.

In addition to learning C#, you'll also cover the Microsoft Visual Studio programming environment, which will serve as the perfect complement to your newfound C# skills.

Contents and Overview

You'll start this course by learning the fundamentals of C# and Visual Studio, including configuring the layout, defining variables, interacting with users, and understanding data types, data conversions, and constants.

To work with code in a more advanced way, you'll tackle how to check simple conditions using if/else blocks, as well as how to use loops to do things like repeat blocks of code to work more efficiently.

After covering various operators to evaluate and assign control structures, you'll learn how to use arrays to store collections of data.

Moving on to Object Oriented Programming, you'll create objects that contain both data and functions to make your job even easier.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of the most important aspects of C#, Visual Studio, and Object Oriented Programming.
