Workshop Details

In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Microsoft’s C# programming language as well as the .NET ecosystem, one of the most comprehensive and productive programming platforms available today. We’ll go over basic C# syntax (things like variables and loops), types (and how they fit into the bigger picture), collections (including the powerful LINQ paradigm), and common libraries you’ll use in your .NET programming journey. We’ll also dive into the .NET tooling like the .NET CLI, basic project structure, and the various IDEs available for .NET. Finally, we’ll create our first JSON API complete with logging, dependency injection, and a database.
