If you're new to programming or previously programmed in a procedural language like Visual Basic for Applications, then this course is an ideal starting point for C# and object orientated programming in general.

If you're already proficient in another object orientated language such as C+ then this course will likely be too basic. Try our Developing Windows Applications with C# course instead.

• Introduction - Concepts and processes in planning as part of the development life cycle
• Writing C# - Elements of a C# program and writing your first program
• Data - All types of numeric, string and constant data alongside comparison and logical operators
• Selection Structures - If...else statements, responses and introducing windows
• Loops - For and While loops and why you use them
• Methods - Why use modular programs as well as creating and using methods
• Classes - Create class objects, setting their properties and using their methods
• Arrays - Why we use them, declaring, initialising and adding data to arrays
