Join us for a relaxed, tension free introduction to C# programming. By engaging in participatory activities, you will learn some of the most common and powerful features of the C# language. By the end of the class you will feel confident in your ability to write C# programs.
No prior experience is necessary.
This day is not lecture-based. There will be fewer than 30 minutes of lecture material -- almost all of the time will be spent on participant-guided activities. Everyone who attends will learn what interests them at their own pace in a relaxed, tension-free environment with an experienced C# developer and trainer available to answer questions. To get a good understanding of how the event works in RL, please see the videos at:
