DEMO: Development Environment
If you want to know how to develop software using C# and you have little to no experience programming you've come to the right place. This is an introductory lesson to C# and .NET programming that is the first in a series that will show you how to use these dynamic cross-platform development tools.
In this lesson, we set the stage in two ways. First, you get an overview of the basic elements of computer programming and fundamental issues that face software development, and how .NET addresses those issues. Secondly, we set up our software development tools on Windows and a non-Windows platform. To test our development environments we create and run a simple C# .NET program.
Learning Objectives
- Get a foundational understanding of computer programming and .NET
- Learn how to set up a development environment
- Learn how to run a simple C# .NET program
Intended Audience
This lesson is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to develop software using C#
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this lesson, you should have some basic understanding of programming, but it's not essential; this lesson can also be taken by complete beginners.
