Microsoft Applied Skills: Get started in C# (for beginners)

Get started with classes, properties, and methods in C#, using Visual Studio Code.

Welcome to my course on "Get started with classes, properties, and methods in C#".

Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft.

I’ll show you how to download Visual Studio Code onto your machine for free, to give you practical access when you need it.

We’ll start with creating our first C# program, and see the principles behind namespaces, classes, methods, objects and types.

We’ll then explore variables. We’ll create different types of variables, and look at integral data types, floating-point data types, and other types of variables.

After that, we’ll look at creating classes. We’ll see how we can create an object from a class, add properties and methods to the class, and identify appropriate access modifiers.

Finally, we’ll look at creating objects. We’ll add constructors and pass other values to our classes, and look at nullable and default values, and overloading methods and constructors.

No prior knowledge is required - we'll even see how to get Visual Studio for free!

There are regular quizzes and practice activities to help you remember the information, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good introductory knowledge of C#, and perhaps even take the official Microsoft Applied Skills assessment. That would look great on your CV or resume.
