Learn C# Programming (in ten easy steps) [Version 2] is suitable for beginner programmers or anyone with experience in another programming language who needs to learn C# from the ground up. Step-by-step it explains how to write C# code to develop Windows applications using either the free Visual Studio Community Edition or a commercial edition of Microsoft Visual Studio (it even explains how to write C# programs using free tools for OS X). This is the completely revised and updated second version of this course.

C# is one of the most widely used and 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.

All the source code of sample projects is provided ready for you to download, run, and modify. The course also includes an eBook that provides even more information on the topics being discussed. And there are also interactive quizzes to test your understanding of each major topic.

The course instructor, Huw Collingbourne, is Director of Technology with SapphireSteel Software, a company that specializes in Visual Studio development tools (written in C#) for professional programmers.

Learn C# Programming (in ten easy steps) is the fastest and simplest way to help you make the move from coding novice to a professional programmer.
