1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:05,170
We've reached the end of the C# objects
course and we've covered a ton.

2
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:06,180
We got to learn and

3
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:10,660
practice many of the features of C# while
building the Treehouse Defense Game.

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,570
Now you have a working example
of object-oriented programming

5
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:18,000
that you can refer back to often.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,580
I've tried to teach not only how to
use these features, but also when and

7
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:24,210
why to use them.

8
00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:29,130
With that knowledge you can go and design
software using what you've learned here.

9
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:35,040
I love designing and building software
using object oriented design.

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,130
I consider it an art form that when
done well, creates beautiful and

11
00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:41,930
elegant solutions to often
very complex problems.

12
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:44,920
It takes practice though.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,710
In fact the best way to retain what
you've learned here is to use it.

14
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:53,190
Practice what you've learned
here as much as possible.

15
00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:57,040
In the teacher's notes of this video
I've included some project ideas

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,110
that you can build yourself.

17
00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:03,330
To finish them you'll need to use much
of what you've learned in this course.

18
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:08,610
You can use workspaces for these projects
by going to teamtreehouse.com/workspaces

19
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:10,660
and create in a new workspace.

20
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:13,560
Or you can set up your
own coding environment by

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,930
installing development
tools on your own computer.

22
00:01:16,930 --> 00:01:19,160
I've included links to
Treehouse workshops and

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,590
other resources to help you do
this in the teacher's notes.

24
00:01:22,970 --> 00:01:26,700
A couple of these projects might
require you to use documentation and

25
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,650
other resources that can
be found on the web.

26
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:33,210
Those are there to give you
practice finding this information.

27
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,960
Efficiently finding the right
information required to solve a problem

28
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,070
is one of the most important
programmer skills.

29
00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:44,120
You might have your own ideas for a
project that you'd like to get started on.

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,900
I encourage you to just get started on
it with what you already know how to do.

31
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,170
It's all right if you end
up rewriting it a few times

32
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:54,600
as you learn more ways to do things.

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,540
It's just text after all.

34
00:01:56,540 --> 00:02:00,660
I'm sure I've thrown out more code than
I've had make it into a final product.

35
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:05,570
Next, I encourage you to be active
in the treehouse community.

36
00:02:05,570 --> 00:02:09,080
If you have questions about how to do
something while working on these projects

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,540
here, you can ask them in
the treehouse community.

38
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:16,400
Also, you might understand something
that another student doesn't.

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880
You can help other students out
by answering their questions.

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,000
There's no more effective way
to solidify what you know

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,170
than to teach it to someone else.

42
00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:27,260
You can also get ahold of me on Twitter.

43
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:28,949
I'm @jeremymclean.

44
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:30,500
Thanks everyone.
