Description

Introduction:

The Mastering C# / .NET Programming course takes you on a journey from understanding the fundamentals of C# to building advanced applications. Whether you are a beginner or looking to expand your skills, this course will help you learn C# in-depth with practical projects and exercises. From basic programming concepts to object-oriented principles, database connectivity, and fun projects like a Flappy Bird game and chatbot, you’ll gain the expertise to excel in building real-world applications with C#.

Section 1: Installing and Setting Up Your Development Environment

This section guides you through the process of installing .NET, ensuring you have everything set up for C# development. You’ll also understand the essential tools you need, laying a strong foundation for all the upcoming lessons.

Section 2: Fundamentals of C# Programming

Dive into the core principles of C# programming. You’ll begin by writing your first basic program, working with variables, and learning about operators. This section ensures that you master the essentials of C# to progress smoothly to more complex topics.

Section 3: Conditional Constructs in C#

Conditional constructs form the backbone of decision-making in programming. This section focuses on working with variables and operators in ASP.NET Webforms and implementing conditional statements like the “If” condition on web forms. You’ll also learn how to navigate between forms and use controls, which are essential for creating interactive web applications.

Section 4: Understanding Loops in C#

Loops allow for repetitive task execution without writing redundant code. Here, you will master the “For” loop, nesting loops, and using loops within ASP.NET web forms. You’ll also learn how to create a DateTimePicker using jQuery, enhancing your web form functionality.

Section 5: Working with Arrays and For Loops

Arrays are key structures for storing multiple values. In this section, you will learn how to work with arrays, find duplicates, and use for loops to manipulate them. The section ensures you understand array operations thoroughly, preparing you for more advanced tasks.

Section 6: Functions and Methods in C#

Functions help break down your program into manageable pieces. This section covers the creation of functions, including passing parameters by value and by reference, and their implementation in web forms. By the end of this section, you will be confident in building modular, reusable code.

Section 7: Mastering Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts

OOP principles such as classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism are essential for structuring scalable programs. This section covers virtual methods, access modifiers, and lists, as well as applying OOP concepts in Windows Forms to create structured, maintainable applications.

Section 8: Project – Creating a Login Page

In this section, you’ll work through creating a login page from scratch. By the end of this project, you will have learned how to handle user authentication and manage file handling using StreamReader and StreamWriter classes.

Section 9: Exception Handling in C#

Error handling is crucial for building resilient programs. Here, you’ll learn about different types of exceptions and how to manage them effectively in various scenarios, such as file handling and arrays.

Section 10: Database Connectivity with ADO .NET

Learn how to connect your C# application to a database using ADO. NET. This section covers basic database operations, including selecting, inserting, and updating records, and is essential for any project involving data storage or retrieval.

Section 11: Project – Creating a Login Page with Database Connectivity

You’ll apply your database skills to create a login page that connects to a database. This practical project helps you understand how to manage user authentication with a backend database, a crucial skill in many real-world applications.

Section 12: Working with Databases

In this section, you’ll deepen your knowledge of database operations by learning how to insert, update, and delete records in a database. This section will arm you with the knowledge to work with data in your applications, ensuring that your programs can interact with persistent storage.

Section 13: Project – Flappy Bird Game

This fun and interactive project teaches you how to build a game using C#. By the end of this section, you’ll have created your very own Flappy Bird game, a great way to apply your skills in a fun and challenging way.

Section 14: Project – Bunifu Game

Take your game development skills further by creating a game using Bunifu, a popular UI toolkit for C#. This section will guide you through creating more sophisticated game mechanics and interfaces.

Section 15: Project – Chatbot

Chatbots are increasingly used in various applications. In this section, you’ll learn how to create a simple chatbot that can interact with users. This project introduces you to AI concepts, allowing you to build conversational agents in C#.

Section 16: Project – Online Examination System

In this comprehensive project, you’ll create an online examination system with a database backend. This section walks you through the entire process, from handling exams to storing results, making it a perfect showcase of your programming and database skills.
