In this computer based training course on C#, teacher and author Mike McMillan introduces you to this powerful programming language. Using a simple to understand step by step method of learning, you will quickly grasp the components to allow you to write full fledged programs with C#. You will start with an introduction to the very basics of C#, variable types. You then move to learning about classes, how to handle data, logical operations, flow control and much more in this video tutorial. You will learn how to accept user input, and even how to store it in a file for later retrieval. Each chapter is completed with an exercise that allows you to apply what you have learned, re-enforcing your training. By the conclusion of this video training course on C#, you will be capable of building complete computer programs at a basis level, using this programming language. This course comes complete with working files to allow you to work alongside the author as he teaches you how to program in C#. Far more effective than a manual and cheaper than classroom based classes, this is the ultimate in self-paced learning.
