Programming Fundamentals with C#
Audience: Beginners with no prior programming experience Students and career switchers exploring software development IT professionals seeking to add C# to their skillset Developers with experience in other languages looking to learn C# Anyone preparing for entry-level Microsoft certifications Hobbyists interested in building desktop or backend applications with .NET Learners planning to pursue advanced C# topics, ASP.NET, or Unity developmentThis programming fundamentals course is designed for beginners with little to no programming experience who want to build a strong foundation in software development using C#. Through 8 structured modules, learners will explore core programming concepts including variables, control flow, loops, data structures, functions, file handling, error management, and modular coding. Each topic is introduced with practical examples and reinforced through hands-on exercises that simulate real-world tasks. By the end of the course, students will be able to write clean, efficient, and reusable C# code and complete a capstone project such as a budget tracker or quiz app. The course is perfect for aspiring developers, IT professionals, or anyone looking to break into the world of software engineering with one of the most in-demand languages in the Microsoft ecosystem.
