C Programming from Zero to Pro

Getting Started with C# can sometimes be tedious and difficult if you don't have an approach that is both simple and detailed.

In the past, I have seen how a simple yet detailed approach to teaching C# can make a real difference to student's ability to write confidently and successfully in this programming language. There is no magic bullet to achieve this, other than a clear understanding of students' needs and of what may impact significantly on their progress and confidence. So, everything has been included in this book to make the journey enjoyable and to guarantee your success:

• This book, unlike many other books on the topic, assumes that you will, as beginners, make mistakes, and it explains how to either avoid them or how to deal with them when they occur. Because this is what happens in real life, we all make mistakes and learn from them.
• This book also assumes that you can't be expected to learn everything at once; this is why all the skills will be built incrementally.
• This book makes sure that you keep motivated by providing you with the right amount of information and challenge in each chapter; we all know that it's hard to keep motivated when learning a new skill, so this book always contextualises the knowledge with an example (so that you feel it's relevant), and also makes sure that you get to challenge yourself if you need to.
• You will have the opportunity to learn C# at your own pace and to become comfortable with this programming language, even if you have no previous programming knowledge. This is because every single new concept introduced will be explained.
• You will build your own code.
• Every step and all the code is explained in great details so that you never feel lost.
• The solutions to the code and challenges presented in the book are available so that you can compare/check your own code.
• All the concepts are introduced progressively so that you don't feel overwhelmed.
• All chapters include step-by-step instructions with code examples that you can use straight-away
• A quiz is available at the end of each chapter (with solutions) so that you can test your knowledge.
• Optional challenges are added at the end of each chapter.

• Chapter 1, Introduction to C# programming, provides an introduction to general programming concepts. including C# syntax, variables and methods.
• Chapter 2, Customized Data types & Structures, delves deeper into C# and explain how to employ customized methods, structures and data types to optimize your code.
• Chapter 3, Object-Oriented Programming & Classes, explains key Object-Oriented concepts, including classes, polymorphism, inheritance, or encapsulation.
• Chapter 4 summarizes the topics covered in this book and provides you with more information on the next steps to follow.
