C# Fundamentals
Learn object-oriented C#, from the basics to LINQ and lambda expressions.
This workshop combines two of my C# workshops, C# Introduction and C# – Beyond the Fundamentals.
The difference is that the first day of C# Introduction becomes a self-study module that you do on your own before the workshop. That gives us time to also cover the first day of C# – Beyond the Fundamentals during the three days of the workshop. The main benefit is that you also learn LINQ and lambdas.
The image below shows how the workshops are related:
The workshop mixes presentations, demonstrations and hands-on exercises. It is up to date with C# 14, .NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026.
What Does the Self-Study Module Cover?
The self-study module takes about one day. Doing the first part on your own before the workshop has three benefits:
- The basics, such as variables, data types and strings, are already done, so we can spend the class time on the more interesting parts of C#.
- Everyone already knows their way around the development environment.
- Participants start at a more even level.
The module covers:
- Hello World
- Working with chars and strings
- Data types & operators
- Flow Control
- Arrays & Loops
- Methods & Classes
- Enum
- DateTime
Who Is This Workshop For?
Software developers who want to start programming in C# on the .NET platform.
Prerequisites
Programming experience in any object-oriented language. You don’t need any prior experience of C#, .NET or Visual Studio.
Before the workshop days together, everyone is expected to have completed the self-study module, or to have equivalent knowledge.
