About this course
C# is Microsoft's general-purpose programming language used to build websites, mobile apps, video games, VR experiences and internal tools. In this beginner course you learn core C# programming concepts, write your own C# programs and create and traverse arrays and lists. The syllabus starts with Hello World and data types, then moves to numbers and operators, strings, logic and conditionals. You then learn to work with arrays, loops, lists and methods before being introduced to classes and encapsulation. By the end you can write basic C# programs, handle data with arrays and lists, and structure code with methods and classes. The course is free, self-paced and takes about 15 hours. It is designed for beginners and offers a certificate on completion. Learners who want more depth after this course might study SQL and Python for web back-ends, or Lua and C++ for game development.
