Hi there!
My name is Mohammad and I have a degree in computer sciences and have been working as a professional software engineer since 1995. I wrote my first program in GW-BASIC when I was 14 years old and since then I knew that I wanna grow up to become a programmer as it is the love and passion of my life!
I also started teaching Visual C/C++ and Visual Basic back in 1997 and that is when I learned how much I enjoy teaching and helping others!
I lived in Seattle for 17 years to work for Microsoft so I can learn from the best in the industry! I spent 9 years at Microsoft as a senior software engineer and then became curious to try out other companies in USA so I can keep on growing and learning...
Over 20 years of my career, I worked with many companies from startups to medium size companies like Citrix and to big companies like Microsoft. During that time, I learned so many languages and technologies from Visual Basic, C/C++, Win32, ATL, COM, Python, Java, Javascript, C# and .NET and many more. I built Windows applications, mobile applications, built some websites and built games using Unity and many other tools. I like to share my experience and help others become professional developers as well.
I mentored, lead and managed many developers in my career and successfully helped ship many products including V 1.0 products like Microsoft Office Communicator ( aka Lync or Skype for Business). When I found out about Udemy, I was immediately hooked as a student, b

PERFECT

By Dali Matador

great work

By Sheku D Koroma

The course is easy to follow so far.

By Adam D

Good detail, good explanations.

By Richard Troester

The course gets straight to the point. If you have a little bit of C# knowledge this course is great. If you have never written a line of C# you may need to go learn the basics before using this course.

By Faisal Q.

Excellent, nice and easy to follow along Instructor Muhammad. The lectures are really engaging and straight to the point. Informative and helpful in learning game development from the scratch. I recommend this course.

By Alejandro Vergara Vargas

Because he's clear and direct. Just like my opinion. Congrats bro!

By Ahmed Adel Fahmy

The lecturer is good , but he is so fast and writing the code so fast

By Reg Migrant

easy to follow and includes assets so the game can be built by a beginner, lose one star for just giving instruction but not explaining the properties/consequences all the time

I know this is not an important piece of code and its interesting to see the thought process of someone who is a good programmer but it feels as though the design wasn't though through in advance and presenter is constantly jumping around 'fixing' elements without any explanation we have to constantly stop the video so that we can type to catch up which is fine except that we then discover that he's jumping back up the code to fix something else then forward to correct what we just caught up. Its not difficult but it means we lose track of the main thread and then he runs the code and the programming lines are obscured by the runing application

By Zakaria Kasmi

nice course , your English is Great Mohammed , So excited to see your next courses

By Naseim Ghribi
