This course will not teach you to become a programmer. Programming is like martial arts, it takes years and years of practice. No course can make you a grand master, no matter what it promises. What this course WILL do is give you a solid foundation in programming as a skill for life, using C# as the vehicle. You will learn about the fundamental nature of the computer and how to communicate with it through the development of programs, to perform a variety of tasks and solve numerous problems. Following the same curriculum used to teach 1st year computer science in university in the first 6 months of a degree, you will learn not just what to program but 1) why it is is done like that and 2) how you can broaden your skill set in programming beyond this single course.
The topics covered include:
Bits, Bytes and Binary
Management and Manipulating Memory
Performing Mathematical Operations
Designing Dynamic Program Execution with Logic
Developing Repetition for Fast Data Processing
Handling User Input
Reading and Writing to Files
The course material has been developed for students using either Windows or Mac computers, using the freely available Mono C# compiler. It is well paced, covering each concept in bite–sized chunks and filled with hands–on workshops that will build projects across a variety of domains. Some of the programs that will be written include:

I really enjoyed this course. Very engaging teacher and I loved the exercises!
Leonardo Gasperin –
Thx Penny again for thsi course, I firm so much knowledge what I need to get a better results … and well … I think u gonna make lesson about interface and scriptable but it’s a pretty good course. thx for all

Just the fact that I m using my mobile to learn on the go is useful 🙂

Really Great so Far but I Love all of her courses. I want her to do some on physics for games or creating a simple game engine if possible.

Very nice primer on the C# programming language. I especially liked the primer on Dictionaries and Lists at the end.

If your goal is to Learn C# I’d start here. Especially if you want to do unity scripting. she breaks down concepts to the fundamental properties so that you can truly understand them. Overall she s an amazing teacher and the best that Udemy has to offer.
Tyler Anders –
great teacher
Michael Kohler –
Enjoying the course, though I am using Linqpad to do the examples 🙂

If you’re looking for the right course to start a jurney into C# coding then look no more because you’ve arrived in the place you’ve been searching for. When I decided to start learning C# i browsed trough the internet, youtube, Udemy and all other sorts of websites finding a lot of content but every little bit I was reading or hearing from every single teacher was just extremly confusing to me, to the point i was very close to smashing my head on the walls because of frustration (Well.. not really but you get my point). This here is the only one course on 20+ I’ve visioned that was actually understandable and didn’t create confusion. There were elements of C# that I couldn’t understand in days that, thanks to Penny, I finally managed to understand in a matter of minutes during lectures. As Penny said in the introduction of the course you’re not going to be a full fledged programmer by the end of this.. but if you want to start learning this is the only course you really need… before passing to other Holistic3d courses to learn more advanced stuff 🙂

One of the best courses I bought here. Penny is a great teacher. Maybe some more theory at the end will be great, explaining deeper the dictionaries and lists, for example, but, I supose that is somethig better for a next level couse. If Penny does a continuation of this course, I’m gonna buy it, for sure. Sorry for my english, I’m not a native speaker.
Rudolph Thomas –
Thanks this was a great intro to C#. Enjoyed it a lot.

I feel that starting the course is great but the learning curve becomes extremely steep very fast. The copying and pasting of all the code also had me struggle to follow along in some places. Though there is a lot of knowledge in here, and I am sure if I were stronger in C# to begin with I would have walked away with a better understanding than I did this time through.

Love taking penny’s courses, everything is so well explained
Robert Bankiewicz –
Cool introductory course for C#. Well explained excercises.

Me gusto mucho su manera de explicar, el curso me ayudo mucho mientras estaba en la universidad. Es una excelente opci n si buscas aprender los fundamentos de C#. Thank you.

I bought many programming courses in my first language and none of them came close to being as good as this one. Great teacher, great community, I’m not a programmer yet, but I managed to get a basic sense of everything I needed to start being a game programmer !!!

By this point I’ve gone through a couple of C# for Unity courses and while they’ve been very good, I’m always left wondering what’s actually C# and what’s made up just for Unity. This course was exactly what I needed and Dr. De Byl really explains certain concepts like classes, strings and files in a lot more depth than the Unity courses I took did. The fact that you’re doing everything in a simple text editor really helped me get better at looking at compiler errors and hunting down the bug, vs just relying on Intellisense (though Intellisense is an excellent tool for learning about new methods and properties and shouldn’t be discounted). I also loved seeing just how minimal you can get with a programming environment. It was great seeing you can just compile a single file into an executable without a ton of other project stuff around it. The only issue I really had with this course is that the last two lessons about dictionaries felt like they jumped into the deep end a little too fast and hit you with a fairly complex project instead of easing into the topic like the other parts did. But that said this is an incredible course that really solidified a lot of the fundamentals for me. I would love to see an intermediate or advanced course done in this compiler only aked style. I think doing it pared down like this really made a difference.
