Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.

Learn to write your first program using the C# programming language


C# is a primary programming language and vital for taking your first steps in software development.


On this two-week course, you’ll learn the basics of this cornerstone of programming and discover the concepts and skills needed to begin your journey in computer programming.


Explore the fundamentals of an object-oriented programming language


C# is a versatile programming language used by many developers to create WebApps and games.


On this course, you’ll discover why C# continues to be so popular amongst developers and how knowledge of C# can act as a springboard when learning many other programming languages.


Set up a .NET development environment to run your C# code


With practical demonstrations throughout this course, you’ll discover how to bring your C# code to life in a .NET environment. You’ll be given a thorough overview of .NET before moving on to looking at C# coding in more depth.


With this foundational framework, you’ll begin to develop your knowledge of C# while understanding how your coding creates a workable program.


Investigate C# coding concepts, from variables in programming to understanding program flow


To create a working program, developers must understand the various concepts and functions within a programming language.


You’ll explore the coding concepts of C# in depth, covering variables, selection statements, operators, and iterative statements. You’ll also experience practical demonstrations that show real-life applications, allowing you to contextualise your learning.


By the end of this course, you’ll have gained a foundational understanding of C# programming and how to write programs in OOP languages. With this knowledge, you can explore other programming languages and improve your skills as a software developer.


This course is designed for anyone interested in learning to code. It is particularly useful for those just starting out with little or no prior coding knowledge or experience working with C#.


You’ll need access to an integrated development environment (IDE). We recommend Microsoft’s Visual Studio. The Visual Studio Code version is free to download, and compatible with Microsoft, MacOS, and Linux systems.


We’ll show you how to find and install the software you need to get started with C# and .NET.
