Introduction to .NET with C#

What's Next?

If you're reading this then congratulations, you have finished the first course on .NET.

You have leveled up your skills and now you should be able to create diverse console applications that can interact with SQL databases and retrieve data from APIs.

Now that you have covered all the important concepts, the next step is much more practical and exciting. You can continue to the .NET Intermediate course where you will learn how to build fun and interesting UI Applications while learning about concepts like Events, Delegates and Threading.

Happy Coding!

Introduction to .NET with C#

1. Introduction

In this section we will learn about what is .NET, how to setup the development environment and how to start making some console apps. Apart from that we will also learn how to take input from the user in the console for making interactive applications.

What is the .NET Platform exactly?

Creating a Console Application

Taking input from the User

Task - Building a Simple Calculator

Dealing with Exceptions caused by User Input

Task - Improving the Calculator

Reading Files

Writing Files

Task - File Based Calculator

2. Asynchronous Programming and Introduction to Web Services

In this section, we will be learning how to perform multiple tasks at once to improve the performance and responsiveness of applications. We will also briefly learn what Web Services and APIs are. This will give us an introduction to how the internet and websites work. We will also learn how to use APIs.

What is Asynchronous Programming?

Implementing an Asynchronous Method

Task - Asynchronously Reading Files

Introduction to APIs

Making a GET Request

Task - Using an API

Handling Exceptions caused by HTTP Request

Task - Exception Handling for API Response

3. Introduction to Databases with .NET

In this section we will learn what are databases, specifically what are SQL databases and how to create them. We will study their structure and will learn to perform some basic operations on the databases. This chapter will serve as an introduction to ADO.NET which is a .NET module used for interacting with databases.

What is a Database?

Structure of a Relational Database

Setting Up A MySQL Server

Connecting to the MySQL Server

Task - Writing Connection Strings

Executing Commands

Task - Executing MySQL Commands

MySqlCommand Methods

Task - Connecting to a MySQL Database and Executing Commands

4. CRUD Operations with MySQL

In this section, we'll cover the fundamental CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using SQL. We'll explore SQL syntax at a basic level and recap how to implement each SQL statement in C# code. While some parts may serve as a review from the previous section, this will provide a solid understanding of essential database concepts, enabling you to understand both the SQL and C# code and write it independently.

Introduction to CRUD Operations

Installing & Using MySQL Workbench

5. Optimizing Database Operations

In this chapter we will learn about additional functions or methods for making database management more efficient. For-example executing multiple SQL commands at once using Stored Procedures, and retrieving data in bulk from the SQL database using DataSet.

Stored Procedures
