This series will take you through all of the necessary steps to becoming a professional C# application developer. The C# 2010 language, combined with .NET 4.0 with be examined step-by-step to provide you with both practical and theoretical explanations to programming in C#. The .NET base class libraries will be examined related to how they are utilized to create sophisticated Windows applications with C#.

Who is this C# tutorial series for?

There will be two ideal targets for this tutorial series on C#. Individuals who has never programed before and professional programmers looking to learn to program in C#. The sections will be clearly outlined so that individuals will know which section is right for them. This means that individuals with experience in coding (any language will do) who have dealt with object oriented techniques in the past will most likely not need to spend much time learning about variables, while new programmers will need to spend more time on these sections. This series will concentrate on providing programmers with instruction, examples, and tutorials that will provide a strong base for coding syntactically clean, scalable, and standards compliant C# applications for the windows platform.

Learning C# 2010 Series Outcomes

For New Programmers

• Learn about programming language keywords, such as syntax, comments, datatypes, variables, loops, and functions.
• Gain the ability to code complex, scalable, and standards compliant C# applications in a professional environment.
• Quickly move on to learning more advanced features that will get you developing useful applications in no-time.
• New Programmers will need to read the articles title ‘Essentials’, which are targeted towards individuals with no previous coding experience.

For Experienced Programmers

• Quickly learn how the basics are created in C#, such as variables, loops, libraries, and objects.
• Move on to more specific areas, such as generics, multi-threaded applications, and so on.
• Learn Microsoft’s flagship platform and programming language.
• Transfer your existing programming knowledge to the C# language.
• Gain the ability to code complex, scalable, and standards compliant C# applications in a professional environment.
• Coders with experience in other programming languages may find it beneficial to skip the articles labeled ‘Essentials’. If you feel lost during a technical discussion, just come back to these articles as they will lay the programming foundations.

Learning C# 2010 along with .NET 4 Sections

.NET Overview

Learning C# – .NET Overview
This section will give you the necessary knowledge related to how .NET programming languages work and how the code you write in future chapters is executed. It will cover what happens when you compile your application along with how the various .NET programming languages, such as C#, VB, and F# can work together if you keep your code standards compliant. Base class libraries will be explored along with the .NET runtime environment.

Note: I will be releasing articles and tutorials as I am able to write them. Not necessarily at one time. I will also be released video tutorials that will use these articles are learning outcome references.
