Syllabus

Install visual studio, Hello World App, Programs with basic datatypes variables, Difference Between Compiler and Interpreters

Introduction to The Course.

Introduction to the chapter to present what we are going to discuss next.

In this important lecture we need to set a solid understanding of the different types of programming languages.

You need to learn another important concept in the world of computer science before you start learn more about programming...which is the compiler.

In this article you will see how compilers actually work in details.

C# is a very powerful programming language and can be used to deliver different types of applications, let us see what can you do with C#.

In this lecture you will be installing the latest edition of Visual Studio which is 2019 Preview For Window.

In this lecture you will be installing the latest edition of Visual Studio which is 2019 Preview For Mac.

Visual Studio 2019 Preview is out there, in this lecture we are going to check it out and create our first .Net Core console app.

Explaining what are variables and what are the common data types (integer, decimal, double, char, string).

How to work with string variables.

How to work with boolean (true or false) variables.

How to convert one type of data to another type in different ways.

How to use comments in different ways.

See how to use var keyword instead of all the data types.

Summing up what we have been discussing in this chapter.

The Fundamentals of C# Programming - Part 1 - Quiz

Dive deeper into integer datatypes, the limits and the sizes and more.

Explaining the difference between the double, float and decimal datatypes.

How to work with DateTime and display it in different formats and even custom formats.

Exercise No 01 - Test your knowledge of DateTime.

Discuses the different error types such as Syntax Error and Run-time Error (Exceptions).

Explaining the different worldwide naming convention and why to use it.

Learn how to take inputs from the user using ReadLine method.

How to do basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and remainder) .

Exercise No 02 - Test your knowledge of arithmetic operators.

Learn the order in which operations are performed when an expression is evaluated.

Explaining how if and else statements work, to ask if a condition is proven true to apply some function or not.

Explaining how switch statement works, almost acting as an if statement but with a different technique.

How to do comparisons (equal, not equal, greater than, greater than or equal, less than and less than or equal).

Understand how logical operators (and, or and not) work, they typically used with Boolean values.

Combine many logical operators together to perform a real world scenario such as Username or Email and password scenario.

Exercise No 03 - Test your logical thinking with this exercise.

The Fundamentals of C# Programming - Part 2 - Quiz

Explaining how TryParse work and why it is safer than the direct Parse and also how to use the out keyword.

By using const keyword we can create variables that does not change over the life of the program.

If you got bored of the look of command prompt let's see how can we change background color, font size and font color.

How to use the powerful functions to manipulate a strings such as Trim, toUpper, toLower and Replace.

Continuing the manipulation of strings we are going to use Substring, remove, Insert, IndexOf and LastIndexOf.

Exercise No 04 - Test your knowledge of string functions.

Consisting of a backslash (\) followed by a letter or by a combination of digits are called "escape sequences." To represent a newline character, single quotation mark and many others.

String Interpolation is the way that placeholders in a string are replaced by the value of a string variable, it was introduced in c# 6.

Learn how to work with for loops, The for loop executes a block of statements repeatedly until the specified condition returns false.

Learn how to work with different looping technique the While and Do while.

Now we are going to see how to place a for loop inside another for loop, this technique called nested loops.

Exercise No 05 - Test your knowledge of loops.

Math class provide us with the common mathematical functions such as Ceiling, floor, round and truncate.

Continue exploring the Math class functions and properties in this lecture we have Max, min, pow, sqrt and PI.

In this lecture we are going to see how to generate random numbers something like dice maybe or any other example.

Arrays can stores a collection of elements of the same type, In this lecture we are going to see how to use arrays.

The Fundamentals of C# Programming - Part 3 - Quiz

Now it is time to explore the basic concepts of object-oriented programming.

A method is a code block that contains a series of statements. In this lecture we are going to see how to create methods in C#.

Continue our discussion about methods now let's see how can we add parameters and return a value from a method.

Exercise No 06 - Test your knowledge of basic methods.

Learn the difference between pass by reference vs pass by value (ref keyword and out keyword.

Learn the rules for creating methods with the same name.

Exercise No 07 - Test your knowledge of overloaded methods.

A class is a construct that enables you to create your own custom types by grouping together variables of other types, methods and events. A class is like a blueprint.

Constructors have the same name as the class or struct, and they usually initialize the data members of the new object.

In this lecture we are going to see how can we explore the different classes and structs through visual studio.

Explaining how can we use static methods and what is the need to use static methods.

The scope of a variable determines its visibility to the rest of a program.

The first of the four pillars of OOP which enables you to create new classes that reuse, extend, and modify the behavior that is defined in other classes.

Encapsulation is used to prevent or allow access to its members from outside classes using public, private, protected, internal modifiers.

Exercise No 08 - Test your knowledge of inheritance.

Polymorphism is often referred to as the third pillar of OOP, after encapsulation and inheritance, Polymorphism is a Greek word that means "many-shaped".

Applying the concept of abstraction by making classes not associated with any specific instance.

Exercise No 09 - Test your knowledge of object-oriented programming.

#region lets you specify a block of code that you can expand or collapse when using the outlining feature of the Visual Studio.

Object-oriented Programming in C# - Part 1 - Quiz

Sealed modifier prevents other classes from inheriting from it.

Static class cannot be instantiated. You cannot use the new keyword to create instances. you access the members of a static class by using the class name itself.

A type defined within a class or struct is called a nested type.

It is possible to split the definition of a class over two or more source files. Each source file contains a section of the type or method definition, and all parts are combined when the application is compiled.

Namespaces are used to provide a "named space" in which your application resides. They're used especially to provide the C# compiler a context for all the named information in your program, such as variable names.

Struct is a value type that is typically used to encapsulate small groups of related variables, such as the coordinates of a rectangle or the characteristics of an item in an inventory.

In this lecture we are going to see the differences between classes and structs.

The enum keyword is used to declare an enumeration, a distinct type that consists of a set of named constants called the enumerator list.

Exercise No 10

The this keyword refers to the current instance of the class.
