• Understanding of basic programming concepts (variables, loops, functions)
• A computer with Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition or higher installed

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course for absolute beginners?

This course assumes programming experience in another language. Absolute beginners should first take an introductory programming course.

Which .NET version is covered?

The course covers .NET 6/7 with C# 10/11. Concepts are forward-compatible with newer .NET releases.

Does this course cover ASP.NET or desktop development?

The focus is on the C# language and .NET Core fundamentals. Specialised courses for ASP.NET, WPF, and other frameworks build on these foundations.

How much hands-on coding is involved?

Approximately 60% of the course is hands-on labs and coding exercises, ensuring you apply every concept immediately.
