Developers School For Learning C#

What is all of this?
This is a kind of interactive learning platform where those who want to learn .Net with C# can find help and support. There will be an issue a week describing some areas of C# Programming Language with the Microsoft .Net Platform. This is not the same as traditional passive tutorial where the author only writes and the reader only reads. There will be exercises and problems at the end of each issue which the reader is supposed to solve after reading the issue. The solution to these problems will be provided in the next issue for testing purpose. There is also a dedicated message board for the school where you can ask any question about the article and the author will respond to your question within 2/3 days.

Learning path of the school
There will be three levels of our learning curve. In the first (beginner) level, we will be discussing the .Net Framework, C# Language Fundamentals and Object Oriented Programming. In the second (intermediate) level, we will go into depth with Object Oriented constructs in C# such as inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, interfaces, structs, enumerations and exceptions. In the third (advanced) level we will see practical implementations using C# with Base Libraries. We will be focusing on topics such as Collections, Delegates, Events, Windows Programming with lot of controls, Data Access with ADO.Net, Threads and Streams. In short, you will learn a lot with ease and comfort if you attend the school regularly.

Tools you need to enter the school:
As most of the time you will be writing your C# code in its standard IDE, Visual Studio.Net, you surely need this. There is a free Visual Studio.Net trial version available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/trial/

The trial must be ordered on a CD; therefore it's wise to order it right away. You also have to download the .Net Framework, which can be downloaded freely from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx

The .Net Framework also contains the C# Compiler so you can use this to compile the examples given in the class and those which you want to practice with on your own.

Great master piece... I have never imagined of such programming like Turbo C#... I am expecting that it would be Turbo D... It's an excellent advancement in Computer Science

Great stuff for biginners and had a good look of language key elements. Hopefully, the next aritcle will be more interesting.

This text summarizes the .NET architecture, its features like CLR, CLS, CTR. It contains a good comparison between C++, C# and Java. Better than what many books have tried to do.

No doubt the author, Faraz Rasheed , is a master mind. He is one of the best programmers in the university. The way he looks at Object Oriented techniques is really great, out of this world. I was surprised (and was proud too) when I saw him favoring C# in a discussion forum (Vs Java & C++) , which he won too :p Well Best of luck in future Faraz. We all are praying for you.

Its a very simple and very easy written code. If any one is new then its good for them also. His explznztion is like a teaching lession in the class. I never seen better then this type of explanations.
