Course overview

Microsoft introduces C# through the development environment and core programming concepts. Object-oriented work leads into asynchronous programming and a Copilot-focused section. It is an introductory route for learners who want to connect language foundations with the .NET workflow.

What you will learn

  • Use foundational C# programming constructs.
  • Explain object-oriented design in C#.
  • Describe asynchronous programming patterns.

Who this suits

Beginners; the provider states that no previous experience is required.

Before you enroll

Compare the .NET version and development environment used in the course with your intended project. Language foundations remain useful, but older framework or desktop examples may need adaptation. Build and test a small application independently before relying on a copied example.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Write a fictional console application with a small data model, then explain how its responsibilities could be separated into classes.
