Our virtual classes will help you become fluent in C#. C# (pronounced see-sharp) is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s as part of its .NET framework. As its name suggests, it is a member of the C language family and a successor to C++. In fact, just as C++ is named because it implies a "+1" increment of C, C# can be interpreted as a "+1" increment of C++ (four plus signs in a two-by-two grid).

C# draws many comparisons to its predecessor (C++) as well as Java. C# is object-oriented, is strongly-typed, and uses similar syntax as C++ and Java. If you are familiar with either C++ or Java, you are likely to learn C# with relative ease.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with these other languages, we’ll give you the crash course you need to start developing with C#. You’ll learn how to program and what you need to know to become a C# developer.

Even if you have a full-time job or full-time responsibilities, you’ll be able to efficiently complete our courses. We designed our courses to fit into any busy schedule. Any time you can make for Treehouse, you’ll be working toward developing a new skill set and learning a new coding language. Although learning a new programming language isn’t always easy, with Treehouse it will always be intuitive. Those who have full-time responsibilities are often able to complete our programming courses in as little as three months. Those who take longer still are learning the skills and will eventually master them and be able to use them in a future career path. It doesn’t matter when you learn with Treehouse, all that matters is that you make the effort.

Our teachers are also experts in their field, as well as experts in teaching techniques. Their real-world skills will translate to your curriculum and show you what you need to know to succeed in the programming industry. You’ll be exposed to continuous practice, which will help you retain the information you learn and access it when you’re needing to out in the programming field. Once you finish a Treehouse course, you’ll feel confident that you’ve actually learned the skills, rather than just memorizing the information.

Other resources you’ll get access to include the Treehouse community of students and staff. Our vibrant Slack channel is always available for you to connect with others and get assistance as needed. Besides just getting help from the channel, you’ll also have the opportunity to network with everyone and learn from them along the way.

C# basics are essential if you want to advance your programming career using the C language. As a prominent language for Windows and mobile devices, it’s a highly useful skill to have. Once you learn C#, you’ll have an invaluable asset in your skill set that is sure to impress any potential employers.

Another great aspect of Treehouse is that students can continue to turn to us after their education to sharpen their skills. Since programming languages constantly change and evolve, it helps to stay up to date. Don’t let your knowledge go stale, come back to Treehouse to make sure you’re on top of the latest developments in C#.

Our training lessons can help you start a career in C# programming or advance your existing career. With C# lessons, you’ll learn how to develop Web apps that run on Windows or Linux servers, mobile apps that run on Android, iOS, and Windows devices, and games that run on just about any device. It's the language to learn for developing enterprise business software that runs on Windows desktops or servers. With so much software written in C#, there will always be a high demand for it in the job market.

With our interactive lessons, you’ll be able to engage with the material on a deeper level and gain unique insights into the lessons you're learning. Some of the concepts and skills you’ll master include loops in C#, inheritance in C#, conditionals, methods, Xamarin, creating a workspace, and much more. You’ll be able to practice these skills over and over and interactive videos will also help you along your learning path.

With each of our C# courses, you’ll notice that everything is segmented into various learning tracks. These tracks act as mini-courses to help you sharpen a particular skill or skill set. When you enroll in a track, you’ll get to see how your learning path is mapped out, so you’ll see ahead of time what skills and concepts you’ll walk away with.

As you work through these courses and tracks, you’ll learn the information efficiently and effectively. With practices, workshops, and more you’ll be able to nail down the concepts fully, while our review tools will make sure you completely understand everything before moving on. In short, you’ll get everything you need to succeed in the world of programming.

Just 30 minutes per day will put you well on your way to developing the skills to become a C# programmer. All along the way, we’ll continue to motivate you and provide assistance and feedback. If you’re ready to learn C#, then see what Treehouse has to offer.
