Windows 10: New Year, New Devs: Sharpen your C# Skills

Brink · Jan 12, 2017

At the beginning of each new year, many people take on a challenge to learn something new or commit to reinforcing existing skills. Over the next two blog posts, we will guide you through two amazing, free, developer training video series: C# fundamentals and UWP Development.Both series require no prior programming experience, so they’re perfect for someone who wants to learn something new. However, since the videos span a wide array of topics, they’re also great to brush up on your existing skills.

The series are presented by Bob Tabor from Developer University (formerly learnvisualstudio.net). Bob is known for his easy-to- follow teaching style, keeping you engaged and entertained while learning the topic.

To get started, we’ll take a look at the first series: C# Fundamentals for the Absolute Beginner. In this free Microsoft Virtual Academy course, you will learn core C# concepts applicable to a wide range of classic and modern applications.

For the beginner, or if you’re coming from a different language, this series will walk you through getting the tools, writing code, debugging features, customizations and much more. For the experienced C# developer who wants to brush up on certain topics, each concept is explained in its own video so you can jump to a topic and focus on the information you want.
