Foundation in C#: Getting Started

Tim Corey built this curriculum to help newcomers get started in C# and Visual Studio. It is split into four different sections, and each has a quiz to ensure students are grasping important concepts. It is completely self-paced, and it takes a unique approach in trying to give students resources to continue their education indefinitely.

Tim Corey has a number of videos on C# programming and a couple that shows building an application from start to finish. I have always had a problem with videos but I like his!

It’s all too easy to patch together a working application (as a non-developer), but without real knowledge of how it should be done! Some of the foundation stuff is very basic (as expected), but it’s easy to watch and there’s some really good explanations there.

I have tried a few YouTube tutorials but personally nothing comes close to Tim Corey. He's great! His pace of learning and explanation is second to none.

Tim Corey makes amazing videos and his voice is very calming which makes watching a bit easier. I have subscribed to his all access pass too (50USD a month) even though that price is higher than sites like Pluralsight of LinkedIn, it is worth every penny. He explains everything in detail in all videos. Also he posts YouTube videos that give you industry tips and tricks as well. His courses are the reason I am now a junior developer without college or taking a bootcamp.
