Course Description

Welcome to An Introduction to C# for the Rest of Us
C# sharp is one of the most widely used programming languages in existence today.
In this course, we are going to cover three core concepts.
The first is the language. C# (pronounced "C-Sharp" and not "C-Pound") is a hybrid between JAVA and C.
It was designed to bridge the gap between the ease of Visual Basic and the more obtuse C language.
Now, the language can't do much without .Net. What's .Net? In layman's terms, .Net is a lot of prepackaged code we can use to develop our applications faster than ever before.
We don't have to create the code to use a button because it's already done for us. All we have to do is add code to that button to get it to do what we want.
So much of the tedious part of creating real world programs is done for us.
The third component we will be cover is the IDE. An IDE is like a text editor built specifically for programming. The one we will be using is Visual Studio.
Microsoft created the language so it makes sense to use their tool. Additionally, it's by far the most advanced IDE on the market.
In the course, we are going to cover the nuances and the fundamentals. We are going to do this by crafting mico-programs. These are C# programs that do something very simple yet show us the functionality we need to learn how to craft our programs.
Thanks for your interest in An Introduction to C# for the Rest of Us. We will see you in the course!!!Who this course is for:

If you are looking to learn one of the most widely used programming language from the ground up then this course is for you.
We are going to look explain C#, the IDE and the .Net libraries so you'll easily understand how they are correlated.

Machine Learning Enthusiast
I've worked with databases for over two decades. I've worked for or consulted with over 50 different companies as a full time employee or consultant. Fortune 500 as well as several small to mid-size companies. Some include: Georgia Pacific, SunTrust, Reed Construction Data, Building Systems Design, NetCertainty, The Home Shopping Network, SwingVote, Atlanta Gas and Light and Northrup Grumman.
Over the last five years I've transitioned to the exciting world of applied machine learning. I'm excited to show you what I've learned and help you move into one of the single most important fields in this space.
Experience, education and passion
I learn something almost every day. I work with insanely smart people. I'm a voracious learner of all things SQL Server and I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned. My area of concentration is performance tuning. SQL Server is like an exotic sports car, it will run just fine in anyone's hands but put it in the hands of skilled tuner and it will perform like a race car.
Certifications
Certifications are like college degrees, they are a great starting points to begin learning. I'm a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA), Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT).
