Description

An accelerated course in C# and .NET Core

Welcome to this course about C# and .NET Core. It doesn't require any prior knowledge in programming as I will guide you through every step you need to become productive in the C# language. My ambition with this course is to firmly ground all theory in code that you and I write in the editor together.

As we'll pick up new skills along the way - we will keep adding code to our hangman game - an application that we will write from start to finish throughout this course.

We'll be working in Visual Studio 2017 (but older versions will work fine as well).

Who this course is for:

People who are new to C# (or new to programming in general)
People who needs to refresh their knowledge of C#
Anyone looking to get into the C# language and .NET Core
