C# Programming Training | C# Course

Introduction

C# is a simple, modern, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language. C# has evolved from the C family of languages and has a syntax very similar to C, C++, and also Java.

Pre-Requisites

Basic background in programming and knowledge of programming principals as covered by PTR's Fundamentals of Computer Programming using Java Course.
