Have you heard that the best way to learn a foreign language is by submersion? Live in the culture that speaks it, and you’ll pick it up quick.That’s trainer Robert Barr’s approach to these C# (”C sharp”) videos. He doesn’t talk much theory, or speak in generalities. He sits down with you and walks you through the process, step-by-step, of creating applications using C#. Along the way, you learn not only how to program in C#, but also what goes into a well-written application. He even creates errors so he can walk you through the process of debugging and fixing them, to make it easier for you to fix your own errors as you learn the language.

Learn valuable real-world C# skills
The On The Job Training Series: C# videos teach you how to go from an “interest in C# programming” to using it as a powerful development tool. You learn about how C# treats variables, operators, and expressions - the core elements of computer programming. You learn about methods, classes, objects, and assemblies. You learn many of the common functionalities you need to know to create applications for the enterprise. Plus, you learn how to use C# to create data-driven applications leveraging the power of XML and ADO.NET.
