Quick Start – Learn programming in C#, Easy and fast – Your start into programming as an absolute beginner.
Course Description
If you have never written a line of code before, then this is the right place for you to start. You will learn the basics of programming so that you can judge whether programming is something for you or not.
Do you know this? You want to learn something practical, but first you have to learn a lot of theory. This is different here: you will start writing your first program already in the second lesson. The essential components of a programming language will be explained and, above all, practiced without going into too much detail.
As programming language you will use C# (pronounced: “see sharp”), because it is very easy to learn and there are good tools for beginners. As a programming tool you will use the {Coder for C#}, which is very good for getting started.
Besides the most important topics around the programming language C# such as
- Variables and operators
- Conditional statements
- Repeating statements (loops)
- Objects (classes)
you will write many simple programs in the exercises. Besides graphical programs (driving a car, drawing a smiley, painting) you will program the game Pong as a continuous exercise. The game was developed in 1972 by the Atari company as a game console. As a vintage game it is very popular again today. The player hits the ball with a bat against a wall in single-game mode.
To keep track of the game, a cheat sheet is available for download, where you can look up the most important instructions.
To attend this course, you need a computer with the Windows operating system and should be able to use Windows.
