Syllabus

Intro & Setup

In this module, we will introduce you to the course structure, ensuring you know how to navigate through the learning material. We will also cover the basics of the .NET framework, including its SDK, runtime, and the Base Class Library. Finally, we'll guide you through setting up Visual Studio Code and accessing the course's code repository for practical experience.

C# Fundamentals

In this module, we will introduce you to the fundamentals of C#, starting with variable declarations and basic input/output using the System.Console class. You’ll then explore expressions, control flow statements, and loops, including the if statement, switch statement, and different loop structures like for, while, and do-while. The section also covers the use of break and continue to control loop execution efficiently.

OOP Fundamentals

In this module, we will introduce you to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and its foundational concepts such as classes, objects, and encapsulation in C#. You’ll explore how to define fields, properties, and methods to manage data and behavior, as well as how constructors initialize objects. Additionally, we’ll cover advanced OOP features like static, readonly, and const modifiers, along with expression-bodied members to streamline code.

OOP Advanced

In this module, we will dive deeper into advanced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts, enhancing your understanding of inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. You will learn how to control class member access with modifiers, use virtual and abstract methods, and manage object hierarchies with upcasting and downcasting. We will also explore the use of method overloading, interfaces, the is operator, and the sealed modifier to strengthen your ability to design robust and maintainable C# applications.

Structs & Enums

In this module, we will introduce you to structs and enums, focusing on their use for creating value types and defining named constant sets. You’ll learn how to create and manipulate structs, enforce immutability with readonly structs, and use with expressions for immutability. We’ll also explore advanced struct features like auto-default structs, primary constructors, and the implementation of primitive types as structs, before wrapping up with an in-depth look at enums and their practical applications in C#.

Type Behavior & Storage

In this module, we will explore the behavior of data types and memory management in C#, focusing on the Common Type System (CTS) and its influence on type rules. You'll learn the difference between value and reference types, how stack and heap memory affect data storage, and the impact of reference semantics on behavior. We will also cover essential concepts like method argument modifiers (ref, out, and in) and boxing/unboxing, which are crucial for handling data types effectively in C#.

Null Safety

In this module, we will dive into null safety concepts in C#, focusing on how to handle null values safely and efficiently. You'll explore nullable value types and reference types, as well as various operators like the null-coalescing, null-conditional, and null-forgiving operators to manage null values in a streamlined way. By mastering these techniques, you will be able to avoid common pitfalls such as null reference exceptions, ensuring safer and more reliable C# code.

CS Fundamentals

In this module, we will lay the groundwork for more advanced topics by introducing computer science fundamentals. You will explore essential algorithms and data structures, learn the importance of analyzing algorithm complexity, and understand how Big O notation is used to evaluate the efficiency of your code. These concepts are crucial for developing optimized and scalable software solutions.

Arrays

In this module, we will introduce you to arrays, one of the most essential data structures in C#. You will learn how arrays are structured and stored in memory, and how to efficiently iterate over them. We’ll cover advanced topics like multidimensional and jagged arrays, as well as common array operations such as sorting and searching, providing you with the tools to manipulate and manage collections of data effectively.

Strings

In this module, we will cover essential string manipulation techniques in C#, which are crucial for working with text data. You’ll learn about string structure and memory management, and explore features like string interpolation, escape sequences, and verbatim/raw string literals. Additionally, we’ll introduce the StringBuilder class to improve performance with mutable strings, and cover common string operations like trimming and concatenation to efficiently manage text data.

Next Steps

In this module, we will celebrate your success in completing the course and reflect on your accomplishments. You'll also learn about the next steps to continue building your C# skills, with guidance on further learning resources and milestones to keep advancing in your programming journey.
