AI Programming in C# - Beginner to Expert (Udemy.com)

The goal of this course is to take a student with little or no experience programming AI and to make them a complete master of the topic using the C# programming language.

Whether you want to:

• Build the skills you need to land your first AI development job

• Take your career to the next level by learning AI programming for improving your productivity

• Use your C# skills to build artificial intelligence programs

• Understand the various algorithms that are used to make AI think and learn like a human

• Create some exciting AI projects hands-on using the C# programming language

…this AI Programming in C# tutorial is the course you need to do all of this, and more.

Why should you learn AI Programming?

• AI is rapidly becoming more popular worldwide, across almost all industries

• By learning to build AI programs, you can set yourself apart and further your current career

• With the rapid growth in AI, there are many open roles for AI developers

• AI developers make a very lucrative salary

• AI likely won’t take your job…but someone else who knows how to use AI better than you might

How is the course structured?

The course goes in order building up from basic to intermediate and then to advanced.

There are a total of 27 sections in the course and 14 hands-on projects that we will build step-by-step. You’ll not only gain conceptual and theoretical knowledge but also get plenty of practice putting those concepts into action using C# code.

Most sections of the course have a quiz at the end, then a video explaining the answers to the quiz questions. That means as you learn the material you will be ensuring that you grasp the key concepts and skills before moving onto the next topic.

How is this course different from the other AI courses on Udemy?

While there are plenty of AI development courses on Udemy, this course is the first one that provides a comprehensive understanding of AI programming using C#. Other courses focus on languages like Python, which is a great language that has many advantages. But if you already know C# or work a job that uses C# daily, why not learn to code AI in the language that you currently use?

This course focuses on a wide range of topics including the fundamentals of AI development, machine learning, neural networks, Chat GPT, large language models, video game AI characters, classification, regression, forecasting, recommendation, sentiment analysis, anomaly detection, text generation, time series analysis, clustering, reinforcement learning, data analysis, scientific computing, statistical analysis, AI optimization, linear algebra, and C# programming.

Are there real-world projects in this course where you can apply the skills you learn hands-on?

There are! In fact, you will build 14 hands-on AI projects in this course! You will use your C# skills to develop:

• An AI that navigates mazes using the TorchSharp library

• A neural network

• A classification AI that can tell if a movie review is positive or negative

• An image classification AI that can tell the difference between puppies and kittens

• A regression AI that predicts housing prices

• A forecasting AI that predicts the future prices of stocks

• A movie recommendation AI that can suggest movies based on past viewing history

• A sentiment analysis AI that determines if a movie review is positive, negative, or neutral

• An anomaly detection AI that can spot anomalies in network data, like security threats

• A text generation AI that generate Shakespearean style text based on user input

• A time series analysis AI will be able to predict future website traffic

• A clustering AI that groups customers into clusters based on their purchase history

• A reinforcement learning AI that learns how to play tic tac toe

• An artificially intelligent game character that performs collection, pathfinding, and obstacle avoidance in the Unity game engine

I will walk you through building each of these projects step by step, so don’t worry about getting overwhelmed or stuck! My students know I break down the big concepts into digestible pieces of information that anyone can understand.

Who is your instructor?

My name is Rob Gioia and I currently work as a Senior Solutions Architect in New York. C# is my favorite programming language, and most industry jobs that I have held have used C# as the primary programming language.

During my time working with C# both in the professional and personal capacity, I’ve used C# to:

• Teach students how to program when I worked as a teacher’s assistant at the New Jersey Institute of Technology

• Build virtual reality games to therapy children with convergence insufficiency, an eye disorder, and gamify their treatment.

• Build a lifestyle Scratch to Win mobile app with over 10 million installs (there was some Java programming involved in this one as well :-) )

• Develop card trader apps based around high end Intellectual Property like Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars.

• Create Udemy courses that students have used to build full length video games using Unity and C#.
